Move DHCP

[HelpPls]

Hi all -

I followed ARTICLE ID: 325473 in trying to move my DHCP Server Service from
a Windows 2000 Memeber Server to a Windows 2003 Member Server. I got as far
as running the netsh dhcp server c:\dhcpfile.txt all but this is where it
FAILED. I recieved an access denied. I was logged on as an admin. Now the
one thing I am confused about is - before running the command, I
copied/pasted the dhchfile.txt. Am I supposed to "import it with the
utility"? The article is confusing me on that point.

Thanks- sean

group at the Enterprise level.

Thanks- sean

Hi,

I was logged on as an admin.

You need to be an Enterprise Admin to do DHCP.

Hi -

Where Exactly do I find this group? I do not see it in my AD.

Hi,

Enterprise Admin Group is located in a Root Domain in the Users
Container by default. The Domain cannot be a Child Domain.

Do a search for it. Only an Enterprise Admin can authorize DHCP. This
was brought in because DHCP is not domain-specific and can mess things
up if there are two disjointed DHCP servers running.

Lara

Thanks for your help. I was referring to where I can find the DHCP Admins
Group (does one exist?) but were you all referring to joining the new DHCP
server to the Enterprise Admins group?

There is no DHCP Admins Group. Your account needs to be a member of
the Enterprise Administrators group before you can do any work with
DHCP. The default "administrator" account installed in a Root Domain
is automatically part of the Enterprise Admins group.

Not sure what you mean about joining the DHCP server "to" a group.
