Migrating DHCP:
1. Export the DHCP settings from your old Windows server.
2. Import those settings into the server that’s running Windows Server 2008.
On old 2000 server
1. Disable & stop the DHCP service
2. Export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ DhcpServer > Configuration key
3. Copy the entire contents of the %SystemRoot%\System32\Dhcp folder
On 2008 server
4. Install the DHCP Server service
5. Stop the DHCP service
6. Import HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ DhcpServer > Configuration key
7. Copy and replace %SystemRoot%\System32\Dhcp folder”
On old 2003 server
1. CMD > netsh dhcp server export C:\w2k3-dhcp.txt all
On 2008 server
2. Install the DHCP Server service
3. Stop the DHCP service
4. Copy w2k3-dhcp.txt to the root of the C: volume on your new server
5. CMD > netsh dhcp server import c:\dhcpdatabase.txt all
6. Start the DHCP administrative console and verify that your scopes and configurations made their way to your new server.
