DHCP migration issues. HELP

[edutech4schools]

Just installed a new 2012r2 server, installed DC roles, moved roles from old 2008r2 server and now need to migrate the DHCP scope.

 

I have tried 3 different ways of migrating DHCP found online, and all have failed.

 

Can someone post the correct way to migrate DHCP from 2008r2 server to 2012r2 please.

I take it you want to migrate the database without having to recreate the scopes manually?

 

If so... ensure your new server is authorised.

 

Then - on the old server, open an elevated CMD prompt and type in:

 

Netsh

DHCP

Server \\

Export c:\export\dhcp-database all

 

Then on the new server, copy the exported files over, open an elevated CMD prompt and type in:

Net stop DHCPserver

Del c:\windows\system32\DHCP\DHCP.mdb

Net start DHCPserver

Netsh

DHCP

Server \\

Import c:\import\dhcp-database

Exit

Net stop DHCPserver

Net start DHCPserver

 

Hope that makes sense...

Oh, and of course stop the old dhcp service...
