Printer Logging Messages

CA DMM returns Event Log messages. Event messages are written after a migration is complete if an issue occurs during the migration.

If an issue occurs that is not the result of a message, a Debug log is the best means of troubleshooting the printer migration.

Before you migrate the network printers on Windows 7 or Windows 8 computer, you must modify certain security settings on the destination computer.

Follow these steps:

Ensure that the user on the destination computer has access to the network printer server that you are migrating.
Open command prompt and run gpedit.msc.
Click Local Computer Policy, Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Printers.
Double-click the Point and Print Restrictions option in the right pane.
Select the following options in the Point and Print Restrictions dialog.
- Select the Enabled option.
- Under Options, Security Prompts, select "Do not show warning or elevation prompt" for the following options:
  - When installing drivers for a new connection
  - When updating drivers for an existing connection),
Save the changes.
In the command prompt, run the following command:
```
gpupdate /force
```
Note: If the update fails, remove your machine from the domain, add it to the domain, and try again.
Restart your computer after the update is successful.
You can now migrate your network printer to the destination computer.
