DHCP Backup - Windows 2003


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello...

 

I am trying to develop a backup solution for our DHCP servers using the

netsh dhcp server export command.

 

However, we need to run this command as our scheduler account (typical

domain user, no elevated access). The account is receiving an 'access is

denied' error when attempting to run the netsh command.

 

Does anyone know how to grant a user permission on the netsh command to

backup the database?

Hello,

 

User must be member of the local administrator group

 

"Access denied" error message when you use the "netsh dhcp server import"

command to import a DHCP database from a Windows NT Server 4.0-based

computer to a Windows Server 2003-based computer

Mathieu,

 

Thanks for the reply...

 

We actually need to do this with just a basic user account. And most of our

DHCP servers are on DCs so there is no local administrators group.

 

Is there a way to regularly backup the DHCP database with just a basic user

account?

Re: DHCP Backup - Windows 2003

 

anyway, you will need at least elevated privilege.

 

You may backup the content of systemroot\System32\Dhcp\Backup

It contains a backup made by the dhcp service

 

You can change how often the dhcp service backup the conf:

KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCPServer\Parameters\BackupInterval

 

And you would need to manually backup:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCPServer\Parameters

 

 

Can you explain more why you need to use a basic user account ?

is manual backup from the dhcp console acceptable ?

Our goal is to automate the DHCP backup process... we have about 20 DHCP

servers. I could do it manually, but it would be a pain ;-)

I understand, but why with a limited account ?
