Migrate from a server that is running Windows Server 2003

Follow these steps if your current DHCP server is running Windows Server 2003.

To migrate from Windows Server 2003

Log on to the DHCP server by using an account that is a member of the local administrator’s group.

Open a Command Prompt window and type the following command:

netsh dhcp server export c:\dhcpNEW.txt all

To disable and stop the DHCP Server service:

Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
 

Right-click DHCP Server, and then click Properties.
 

On the General tab, in the Startup type list box, click Disabled. Then click OK.
 

Right-click DHCP Server, and then click Stop.
 

Copy the c:\dhcpNEW.txt file to the Windows Essential Business Server Management Server. Place the file in C:\.

Log on to the Management Server as domain administrator.

Verify that the DHCP Server service is started and set to automatically start. (In Administrative Tools, click Services to see the Status and the Startup type of the DHCP Server service.)

Open a Command Prompt window and type the following:

netsh dhcp server import c:\dhcpNEW.txt all

After the configuration settings are imported, the following message appears: Command completed successfully.

To open the DHCP console, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click DHCP.

In the DHCP console, expand the node for the Management Server in the left pane and expand the IPv4 node until you can see your scope(s). If you see a red arrow icon:

For a server icon: right-click the icon and click Authorize. Then right-click the icon and click Refresh.
For a scope icon: right-click the icon and click Activate. Then right-click the icon and click Refresh.
Verify that your scopes, leases, and options migrated successfully.
