Transferring printer connections and DHCP reservations.. 1

[Trevoke]

I have an old machine which was used as a server. There is now a real server waiting to replace it, but I would like to find a rather painless way to transfer all the things that made the old machine a server -- network printer connections, DHCP reservations, and so forth (well, at least these two for sure, anyway).
What can be done?

OK, for the printer queues, you can use the Print Migrator:

For DHCP reservations I'm not 100% sure, but probably if you copy the DHCP database (I think it's under C:\Windows\System32\DHCP\*.mdb) from the old server to the new then that should have all the reservations etc. I've never tried this, but I'm sure it'd work.

If you want to copy share folders and files etc, check out Small Wonders Secure Copy - this has options for copying file permissions, shares etc when copying files and folders.

Just one last thing, the old server is also 2000/2003 right?

It is also 2003.

Thank you for your help!
