Guest Jeff Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 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. Jeff
Guest Jeff Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 RE: Error transferring DHCP from Win2K to Win2K3 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.
