DHCP Migration from 2003 SP1 server to another 2003 SP1 server
I am looking to decommision an out of warranty 2003 SP1 server and replace it with a new 2003 SP1 box. Before removing it from the network, I need to migrate the DHCP database. Could someone provide steps to perform this change utilizing Microsoft best practices?
Thanks for any help!

It worked last year for a migration from NT4 to 2003 (granted, not R2).

Hmm, just read the second link which I had missed... sorry! It does work... have done it a number of times.
DHCPEXIM works OK, has it's issues but works. 2003 has a few oddities too, mainly around the number 87 (put exactly 87 scopes or reservations on a server and the GUI doesn't work!!)
netsh dhcp ... is really powerful though, quick dump command out and all your config. neatly wrapped up in a text file to re-import when options go missing etc.

Thanks for the points, glad to hel
Look in Microsoft's download section ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads) for DHCPEXIM.
It works.
