I understand how they're created with exclusions. Sorry for using the term
"split scopes" if it wasn't appropriate. My question is this. If I use
netsh dhcp server export and import, or backup the DHCP and restore to
another server, the service is running, when the scopes are loaded. I would
then need to disable each of the scopes, change the exclusion range to the
appropriate range and re-enable each of the scopes. First, this has 2 scopes
active at the same time for the same address ranges unless I were to take the
machine off the network during this process (which would prevent me from
doing this remotely). Second, it requires manual configuration of each os
the scopes. Isn't there a way to automatically export with opposite
exclusions for import on another DHCP server with the netsh command line
utility?
