Hi, Thanks for the post. If you are setting up an active/active print server, you need to create one group for each node and you want to set each spooler group to have a different preferred owner. You cannot have multiple Spooler resources in the same group. An active/active print server configuration is one in which there are multiple nodes in the cluster that are processing print jobs for clients with multiple spoolers. This could include as many as two to four nodes that are actively handling requests.
