NT4 to W2k3 DHCP Migration

Issue:

We are beginning a rather large NT4 to Win2k3 AD migration. Naturally, DHCP
services will need to be migrated from the NT4 server to the W2k3 server.

Question:

We have 200+/- field sites each with their own DHCP server. Although the
dhcpexim tool is a nice GUI for performing an export of the DHCP database on
a single server, the utility has limitations for mass deployments. The
primary limitation is that there does not appear to a command line version of
the tool. Does anyone know of a command line tool similar to dhcpexim or any
other SCRIPTABLE NT4 DHCP database export command for NT4 that will output a
file(s) that may importable to Win2k3?

Thanks,

There is no scriptable way to do this. The only way to move from NT4 or
2000 to 2003 DHCP is exporting using the dhcpexim tool and import into 2003
using netsh, or just upgrade the OS on the DHCP server and the database
migration is automatically taken care of.

That is unfortunate. Thanks for the reply.
