Just a quick reminder on how to quickly move a Microsoft DHCP server.

Export with
netsh dhcp server export backup.txt

Import on new server with
netsh dhcp server import

dont forgett to ”Authorize” correct server.

Powershell way 🙂

DHCP Migration/Move to new Microsoft Server

Run this on the destination server..

#

$SourceServer = ”vdc01.byggkon.local”
$Sourceip =”192.168.52.10″
$DestServer =”vdc02″
$Destip =”192.168.52.11″

$WorkDir = ”c:\DHCPMigration”
if (-not (test-path $workdir)) {md $workdir}

Export config from old server

Export-DhcpServer -ComputerName $SourceServer -File ”$Workdir\SourceDHCPScopeData.xml” -Force

Stop OLD DHCP Server – decommision

Stop-Service -InputObject $(Get-service -ComputerName $SourceServer -Name DHCPServer) #Stop service on Source
set-service -InputObject $(Get-service -ComputerName $SourceServer -Name DHCPServer) -StartupType disabled #Disable Service on Source
Remove-DhcpServerInDC -DnsName $SourceServer -IPAddress $Sourceip # Deauthorize in AD

Importera den nya

Import-DhcpServer -ComputerName $DestServer -File ”$Workdir\SourceDHCPScopeData.xml” -BackupPath $workdir
Add-DhcpServerInDC -DnsName $DestServer # Authorize scope

Get-DhcpServerInDC
