Dear Readers,
Here I would like to mention those stpes, which you need to carry out for migrating the Windows Server 2003 based DHCP Server to Windows Server 2008 R2 based DHCP Services.
Step1:
Exporting existing DHCP Server backup using NETSH utility, which is recommended by Microsoft for migrating DHCP Server database in OS platforms.
NOTE:
The great thing about this utility is that it also restores the IP ADDRESS LEASES, which your old DHCP Server given to clients
in past, you can see in the below snapshot in the new DHCP Server, we also got the previous given IP leases:

Step 2:
Importing existing DHCP Server database backup using NETSH utility into the new Windows Server 2008 R2 DHCP Server:
Step3:
See in the below snpashot that our new Windows Server 2008 R2 has all the IP Address leases after this migration.
Step4:
After the successful migration of DHCP server database from Windows Server 2003 DHCP Server to Windows Server 2008 R2 DHCP Server, we can also tunned the DHCP Server “Conflict Dectection Settings”, so after having this settings configured on our new DHCP Server (Windows Server 2008 R2), our new DHCP Server first ping the all scope’s available IP Addresses, for checking that weather this IP Address is alive in the NETWORK or not, if it is then DHCP Server wont give this IP address, and will move the next AVAILABLE IP ADDRESS.
I hope with this snapshot based article, now I would be a peice of cake to migrate your Windows Server 2003 based DHCP Server to Windows Server 2008 R2 based DHCP Services.
