DHCP server settings from a 2003 to a 2008 server

Issue: 

Need to move DHCP server settings from a 2003 server to a 2008 server.

Solution:

I know there is a way to do this using netsh Will list info on that.

How is it going to work:

Dump the database from old server to a file.
Transfer that file to the new server.
Import the old DB in to the DHCP DB.

The work: 

•  I used the Microsoft Article ID: 962355
• http://support.microsoft.com/kb/962355
• Here are the steps I followed them.
• Export the DHCP database from Windows 2003:
  
  1.                   On the Windows 2003 DHCP server, navigate to a command prompt
  
  2.                   Type the following Command: netsh
  
  3.                   Type the following Command: DHCP
  
  4.                   Type the following Command: server <\\Name or IP Address>
  
  5.                   Type the following Command: export c:\w2k3DHCPdb all
  
  Note You must have local administrator permissions to export the data.
  
  Import the DHCP database
  
  1.       Copy the exported DHCP database file to the local hard disk of the Windows Server 2008-based computer.
  
  2.       Install the DHCP Role on the server.
  
  3.       Stop the DHCP server service on the server.  To do this, follow these steps:
  
  a.       Log on to the target DHCP server by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group.
  
  b.      Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
  
  c.       At the command prompt, type net stop DHCPserver , and then press ENTER. You receive a "The Microsoft DHCP Server service is stopping. The Microsoft DHCP Server service was stopped successfully" message.
  
  d.      Type exit, and then press ENTER.
  
  4.       Delete the DHCP.mdb file under c:\windows\system32\DHCP folder.
  
  5.       Start the DHCP server service.
  
  6.       Right-click on the Command Prompt (cmd) and select run as administrator, to open the cmd prompt using elevated privileges.
  
  Note You must have local administrator permissions to import the data.
  
  7.       Type the following Command: netsh
  
  8.       Type the following Command: DHCP
  
  9.       Type the following Command: server <\\Name or IP Address>
  
  10.   Type the following Command: import c:\w2k3DHCPdb
  
  11.   Restart DHCP and verify the database has moved over properly.  
• To verify the new server worked, after the old server was off, I released my DHCP lease.
• cmd (with admin privileges)
• ipconfig /release
• Then I renewed the IP Address
• cmd (with admin privileges)
• ipconfig /renew
• Now I made sure the new DHCP server was there.
• cmd (with admin privileges)
• ipconfig /all
• Look for the DHCP server that gave the new lease.

The Result

The longest part of this job was building up the new server. This was a cake job after getting all the steps in front of me.
