Hi,

Does anyone know if Windows 2003 has a command line tool to bulk import DHCP
reservations similar to the dhcpcmd resource kit tool for NT4?

Thanks

Mark

From memory alone so please test thoroughly;

To export the ENTIRE dhcp config, use -
netsh dhcp server dump >\MyDHCPconfig.dat

To import the ENTIRE dhcp server's configuration from a previous dump -
netsh exec \MyDHCPconfig.dat

Thanks Dean,

I have used the netsh method of backup and restore before, but it wont help
me in this case.

I need to add a large number of reservations (more than 500) that do not
exist in the current dhcp server and I dont want to do them by hand. I
already have all the details in a csv file and was hoping to convert this to
a batch file.

Thanks

Mark

That sounds do-able to me. If you post a sample of the CSV content, I'm
sure either myself or someone else here can construct netsh's DUMP
syntax from it.
