Teach you to move the DHCP database to run the win2003 computer.

The DHCP database file plays a key role in the normal operation of the server, especially when the system fails, you must restore the recovery by operating the database file. This article describes how to move the (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP database to a computer running Windows Server 2003?

Exporting a DHCP database from a server running Windows NT Server 4.0 or Windows 2000

Stop the DHCP server service on the server:

Click “Start” and "Run", type cmd in the "Open” box, and then click “OK".

At the command prompt, type net stop "microsoft dhcp server" and press Enter. You will receive a "Microsoft DHCP Server service is stopping. The Microsoft DHCP Server service has successfully stopped the message.

Type exit and press Enter.

Compress the DHCP database using the JetPack utility:

Click “Start” and "Run", type cmd in the "Open” box, then click &ldquo ;OK”.

At the command prompt, type cd %systemroot%\\system32\\dhcp and press Enter.

Type jetpack dhcp.mdb temp.mdb and press Enter.

After successfully compressing the database, type exit and press Enter.

Use the DHCP Export Import Utility (Dhcpexim.exe) to export a DHCP database. You can get this utility from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit Supplement 1. You can also visit the following Microsoft Web site to get Dhcpexim.exe:

Export Database:

Install the Dhcpexim.exe utility and then start the Dhcpexim.exe utility.

On the "Welcome to the DHCP Export Import Tool" screen, click “Export the local service configuration to file", and then click “OK".

In the <;filename” box, type the filename of the export file and click “Save”. For example, type dhcpdatabase.txt.

Click the range you want to export, click the "Select the selected range on local computer before exporting" check box to select it, then click “Export”.

Click “OK”.

Disable the DHCP server service on the server:

Click “Start”, point to “Set">, click “Control Panel", and then double-click “Services&rdquo ;

In the "Services" list, click "Microsoft DHCP Server", "Start" "Start & rdquo; and "Disable", and then click “OK".

If the service is already started, click “Stop”, then click “Yes Confirm to stop the service.

Click “Close" to close the “Services" dialog.

IMPORTANT: Dhcpexim.exe is required to successfully move a database from a server running Windows 2000 to a server running Windows Server 2003. If you only need this configuration (not the database), use the following command on the Windows 2000-based server from which you want to export the configuration

netsh dhcp server export C:\\dhcp.txt all
< Where p: where C:\\dhcp.txt is the name and path of the export file you want to use.
