Move DHCP Data from one server to another SBS 2008 to SBS 2011

To move the DHCP Data from one server to the other

Open an Elevated Command Prompt

Type: netsh dhcp server export c:\dhcp.txt all

Move the dhcp.txt file to the new server.

Type netsh dhcp server import c:\dhcp.txt all

If you server was not previously authorized you may need to authorize it.

Once you start the DHCP service on a the new server you should disable and stop the service on the old server so they do not conflict. If you are changing your DNS server as well you should change the DNS server info in all of the DHCP scope options.
