Does the script work from Server 2003 to another Server 2003? We're decomissioning a server soon.

Hey Gis,

You could try Backup Restore if not migrating across different server versions.

But I'll assume the above procedure also works?

Hi Gis, I use this netsh method to backup (and restore to the new server if needed) Windows 2003 DHCP server. It works, tested.

I don't think it works from win2k3 to win2k8 Server Core. Some one can test it out.

Thanks

Hi Abdul,

Are you talking about the migration script?

Can you please send me the copy of the error message you got so that I can look into that?

I tried once today and the migration succeeded.

Thanks,

Hi,

what are the differences between export/import and backup/restore?

Export/ Import is the way to migrate from one OS version to another. Backup restore is supported only across similar OS versions.

followed the article in full, all was successful. after the migration is complete, clients are not able to pick up IP leases, just dont see the DHCP server on the network
