Error transferring DHCP from Win2K to Win2K3

[Guest Jeff]

I posted this question some time back and it was never resolved. I trying to

move my DHCP service from a W2K server to a W2K3 server.

 

Here are the dteps I have done in order;

 

1. net stop dhcpserver (on W2K)

2. jetpack dhcp.mdb temp.mdb (on W2K)

3. Dhcpexim.exe (export configuration to c:\dhcpdatabase.txt and disable

selected scope on local machine) (on W2K)

4. Disable dhcp service (on W2K)

 

5. copy dhcpdatabase.txt from W2K to W2K3

6. netsh dhcp server import c:\dhcpdatabase.txt all

This is where I get an error. The error is;

Error while importing option "5."

This option conflicts with the existing option""

 

Is there any way of modifying the text file to eliminate the conflict? How

do I find option 5.? I can't seem to figure this out.

 

Any/all help is appreciated.

Nevermind, I figured it out. There was already a setting in server options

that I had set up in the new server. I removed it and now everything works

fine with the new server.
