follow up to dhcp and site replication questions

[pendal1]

Guys, has anyone used the following command to export/import dhcp settings from an old dhcp server to a new one (in my case an old domain controller/dhcp server to a new domain controller/dhcp server.)
- netsh dhcp server export C:\dhcp.txt all
- Install the dhcp server on the new machine and run this import command:
netsh dhcp server import C:\dhcp.txt all
The only change I would need to make and correct me if I'm wrong, is changing the DNS Preferred server in the scope options to the new domain controller. I'm just wondering is this is OK or should I just create a new scope?

My second question pertains to creating a subnet for intersite replication. If my domain controller is ex: 10.41.60.1 - what should be subnet be when I'm creating it for this site for replication. 10.41 and then what? Thank you very much.

Are you asking what subnet your new domain controller is sitting on?

Regarding DHCP... you probably don't need to transfer your DHCP data from one server to another. You could go ahead and just set up DHCP on a new server and configure your scope options from there. A DHCP "How To", also found on google...

Note* remember to authorize your DHCP server after installation.
