Question : export dns and dhcp settings

Hello,
we have a domaincontroller with dns and dhcp and printserver. This is win2003.
Now we want to create a new machine with win2008.
Is it possible to export all settings from dhcp and dns to the new server ? And how ?

Answer : export dns and dhcp settings


DNS is generally really easy if you're using AD Integrated zones and the new system is destined to be a DC. Essentially all you need do is promote it and install the DNS server.

There aren't a large number of other settings you'd need, Forwarders perhaps. Unless you're using your DNS server for things other than AD?

DHCP needs a bit of work, but it's fully documented here:
