Risk management
As with all projects, there are risks involved. Spend some time identifying the risks and making
plans on how to mitigate them. Some suggestions are:
● Make a backup of all systems before making any modifications.
● Thoroughly test before going into production.
● Plan your activities for a time of low print server usage to minimize user impact.
● When migrating to a new server, keep the old server operational for a period of time just in
case you need to fall back on it.
