Make sure the PSMs are running on both the source and destination servers before you attempt
to drag-and-drop the associated Printer Agents. If you don't do this, you will get unpredictable
results.
The utility checks to ensure that it can communicate with the source Resource Management
Service (RMS) and the destination Print Broker. It also verifies that the moves you want to
make are valid.
During the verification, the Dropped Printers dialog displays the source and destination
locations for the printers you are moving in this consolidation project.
If the source and destination locations are correct, click Next.
If the source or destination location is incorrect, click Cancel and make the appropriate
changes in the Project Window.
At the end of the verification, the results dialog is displayed. To ensure a smooth migration, you
should resolve all errors before proceeding.

The log file uses three possible states to identify the success of the migration of each Printer
Agent:
Success indicates that the Printer Agent was created on the destination server with all of
its attributes and drivers.
Partial Success indicates the Printer Agent was created on the destination server but not all
of its attributes and drivers were included, so you should review its configuration.
Failure indicates that the Printer Agent was not created on the destination server.
