Hi ,
My question is - can I export the scope details from the legacy server and import to the new server without activating the scope on the new server. I would like to get everything in place now because I can only carryout this work at weekends due to the legacy server being on a production site. My aim is to have everything setup and on the weekend just active the scope on the new server. Is this at all possible?
Yes, you can. Just deactive the scope on the new server or stop DHCP server service on the new server. Then you can have everything setup on the weekend and active the scope/start DHCP service on the new server. (In my point of view, stop DHCP service on the new server will be more better.)
As a final step, don’t forget to stop DHCP service on the old DHCP server. When everything is working properly, remove the old DHCP server role to completely remove it from your infrastructure.
Best Regards,
Candy
