Welcome to Day Thirteen. We have reached the halfway point of our series. There's only two weeks to go! Today we'll continue on with our look at Printing in Windows Server 2008 - in particular the enhancements to Print Management and the Print Management Console (PMC).
There are two primary tools that are used to manage the Print Services role in Windows Server 2008, the Server Manager and the Print Management Console. The PMC was introduced in Windows Server 2003 R2 and has been enhanced in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. The Server Manager utility and its integration with Print Services is a new feature of Windows Server 2008. One important thing to remember is that the Print Management instance that is available inline under the Print Services role node in the Server Manager console can only be used to manage the local server. To manage multiple print servers, you would need to either use the PMC or use an MMC snap-in.
