Using backup and restore to move the DHCP database to a new server

Using backup and restore to move the DHCP database to a new server

If you need to rebuild a server providing DHCP services, you might want to move the DHCP services to another server prior to rebuilding the server. To do this, you need to perform several tasks on the source and destination servers. On the destination server, do the following:

1. Install the DHCP Server service on the destination server, and then restart the server.

2. Stop the DHCP Server service in the Services console.

3. Delete the contents of the %SystemRoot%System32DHCP folder.

On the source server, do the following:

1. Stop the DHCP Server service in the Services console.

2. After the DHCP Server service is stopped, disable the service so that it can no longer be started.

3. Copy the entire contents of the %SystemRoot%System32DHCP folder to the %SystemRoot%System32DHCP folder on the destination server.

Now all the necessary files are on the destination server. Start the DHCP Server service on the destination server to complete the migration.
