How to Import dhcp.txt exported from 2003 into 2008 Meigs 12/10/2008 8:21:01 AM I've setup a new 2008 server. Among other things, I've installed the dhcp service on the server. I'd like to import the leases and settings from the active dhcp server running on Windows 2003. I've been able to find similar references for the process, but not for the Server 2008 DHPC server. It doesn't seem to be able to accept the dhcp.txt file I exported from Server 2003. How do I import this information into the DHCP server on Server 2008? Thank you for your kind attention. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

RE: How to Import dhcp.txt exported from 2003 into 2008 Meigs 12/10/2008 8:32:01 AM Sorry to reply to my own post, but I found the answer. On the 2008 server I ran the following command netsh dhcp server import c:\dhcp.txt all where dhcp.txt was created on the 2003 server by netsh dhcp server export C:\dhcp.txt all That was too easy.
