Clyde-
Somewhere buried on Microsoft's site, I once came across a WMI provider
for DHCP Servers. I will see if I can track down a URL.

Ive used netsh to move the scopes from one
server to another. There were some minor issues (documented in technet) but it
works fairly well.
Other things to
try:
From the 2000
Server Resource Kit
Microsoft DHCP
Database Export Import Tool - DHCPEXIM.EXE
Just like the title says. An import/export tool. I prefered netsh as I could
edit the script between servers.
DHCP Objects 1.0 -
DHCPOBJS.EXE
dll to program against a dhcp server. It has issues with scopes that have more
than 255 reservations.
If anyone knows of
any other type of automation tool to use against a dhcp server I would really
like to hear about it.

You
can't have 2 identical servers running at the same time (you'd get some
exciting conflicts!) but you could dump your working server and keep the file
safe. When your working server fails you then just reload the data into a
"spare" server and your DHCP server is back and running. I'd guess it would
make sense to do a scheduled dump of this data at regular intervals so that
the file is always reasonably up to date.

Everyone,
Has anyone ever used Netsh to
move DHCP to another server?
In Mark Minasi’s book he talks
about using it to add another DHCP server to your network by dumping it with
Netsh from one machine and Exec it to another machine.
He did not go into much detail
but I did not think you could have identically configured DHCP server’s on a
network.
Thanks
