For DHCP, instead of using the export/import function you might also look at the netsh dhcp dump function.<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-40849213-1">netsh dhcp server dump &gt; c:\temp\dhcp_config.txt
or
netsh dhcp server \\servername dump &gt; c:\temp\dhcp_config.txt</code></pre>
The config is then dumped to a file where all the commands are visible.<br />
Normally I filter only the important parts out of this file and remove e.g. the Class, Optiondef, AuditLog and Database commands.<br />
In this way you know what will be exactly migrated and can even remove the unnecessary things which will result in a cleaner migration.<br />
I didn't test yet but after modification it should be possible to import the modiified file on the new 2012 server via:<br />
netsh exec dhcp_config.txt

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I have 2003 server that servers dhcp and print services. could someone suggest a good way of migrating DHCP and print queues from 2003 to 2012 R2 server?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

DHCP scope migration from windows 2003 to 2012 R2

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
