Currently DHCP is running on a temporary Server 2003 (upgraded NT4.0 PDC). My intention is to run DHCP from another Server2003 (a brand new machine, with AD installed and synchronised last night). So on this temporary Server 2003, I stop the DHCP server service, and backup the database to C:\Winnt\system32\dhcp\backup,
and copy everything in this Backup folder, basically subdirs JET and NEW, and file DhcpCfg (=registry key), to my new server.
As there was no subdir on \\Newserver\windows\system32\dhcp, I simply copied the whole BACKUP folder from my source machine.
On the new server, I open up DHCP console, execute the Restore, but then I obtain a message that the database was not restored.
In the eventvwr I obtain messages :
EventID 1061 : The DHCP service was unable to access path specified for the database backups.
EventID 1062 : The DHCP service was unable to access path specified for the database
EventID 1060 : The DHCP service was unable to access path specified for the audit log.
EventID 1019 : The DHCP service failed to restore the DHCP registry configuration. The following eror occurred: The system cannot find the path specified.
None of these messages are documented in the MS KB...
Detail : on this new server I can backup the existing (nearly blank) DHCP database, and restore it, without problems.
Has anyone tried this out yet ?
Does it have to do with my source machine being an upgraded NT4 PDC (with systemroot = WINNT instead of WINDOWS ?)
