Migrating the DHCP role from 2008 -&gt; 2012R2 using the basic: netsh dhcp server import / export commands. The new server shows green over IPV4 and all the scope info moved over, and is authorized. I stopped the DHCP service on the source server as well but can't get the new server to issue addresses. Everything I've read makes it seem pretty seamless, so I'm not sure what step I'm missing

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).
