How to Backup then Resort DHCP server with all Default values and reservation on windows NT4 ?
Hi
I have an old DHCP server of Windows NT4 with special Default values and reservation for Network printer and servers. We will close this server. so I have to install DHCP server on a new server[ OS is windows NT4 also] then restore all Default values and reservation for Network printer and servers
I tried to backup the old DHCP [dhcp.mdb , dhcp.pat and j500bcc9 files] then restore it on the new DHCP.
The problem is all Default values and reservation for Network printer and servers didn’t appear on the new DHCP server also the Excluded addresses didn’t appear . Only the Active leases menu was restored with the Dynamic IPs only Without reservation for Network printer and servers
So please tell me how to do copy the old DHCP with all its properties to the new DHCP
Note, the operating system is windows NT4 with SP6a
Thank you

Hi Sebo2000
the solution is working but
1- stop the DHCP service
2- you must delete all the configuration keys from registry then import it [ to prevent unwanted parameter to be added]
3-import the registry files
4- start the DHCP service
the problem now that all reservation didn't appear in the DHCP server while its registry key was imported successfully
please advise
thank you
