DHCP Export and import From 2000 to 2003

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;325473

I followed the above article to export the database
succesfully however I cannot import the file to ANY 2003
server. The problem is that the NETSH command on the 2003
server always says "Unable to determine the DHCP Server
version for the Server Server may not function properly."

Using any netsh dhcp server command then quits. How do
move my dhcp database succesfully?

Make sure the accunt you are using is is a member of the local
Administrators group.

Jeff,

I remember I've seen this eror when I was testing DHCP export / import
procedures. I can test it again to duplicate the error, but here is what I
recall:
1. I exported the DHCP database with DHCPEXIM (from a W2K server with SP3).
I imported the database using netsh on a _standalone_ W2K3 DHCP server with
no problems.
2. The W2K3 server was joined to a domain I ran the import again and I got
the error you mention.
3. I un-installed DHCP, re-installed, logged on as the local admin, ran the
import again without problems.

Adrian
P.S. Make sure the DHCP service _is running_ when you do the import
