I posted this question some time back and it was never resolved. I trying to
move my DHCP service from a W2K server to a W2K3 server.

Here are the dteps I have done in order;

1. net stop dhcpserver (on W2K)
2. jetpack dhcp.mdb temp.mdb (on W2K)
3. Dhcpexim.exe (export configuration to c:\dhcpdatabase.txt and disable
selected scope on local machine) (on W2K)
4. Disable dhcp service (on W2K)

5. copy dhcpdatabase.txt from W2K to W2K3
6. netsh dhcp server import c:\dhcpdatabase.txt all
This is where I get an error. The error is;
Error while importing option "5."
This option conflicts with the existing option""

Is there any way of modifying the text file to eliminate the conflict? How
do I find option 5.? I can't seem to figure this out.

Any/all help is appreciated.

Nevermind, I figured it out. There was already a setting in server options
that I had set up in the new server. I removed it and now everything works
fine with the new server.
