Quickly move DHCP scopes between servers

Wish I had known this earlier. If you want to migrate DHCP servers and have got the two servers setup, run the following on the source server:

netsh dhcp server v4 export c:\dhcpdb all

1	netsh dhcp server v4 export c:\dhcpdb all

And the following on the destination server (the first command is to just connect to the C: drive of the source):

pushd \\sourceDC\c$
netsh dhcp server v4 import \path\to\dhcpdb all

1 2	pushd \\sourceDC\c$ netsh dhcp server v4 import \path\to\dhcpdb all

Amazing!

This only does IPv4 scopes, so replace v4 with v6 for IPv6. And this exports all scopes, so replace “all” with the scopes you want if you want a selected few.
