I'd
love to see that if you can find it. Last I heard, there is still no DHCP
Server WMI provider. I just looked at a W2K3 server with the DHCP
Server installed and couldn't find a provider for it.
Not
having a scripting API is a big hole for the Microsoft DHCP Server.
dhcpobjs.dll isn't supported and from what I heard it was only accidentally put
in the W2K Res Kit. It has a lot of problems regardless. Shelling
out to netsh (ugh) is the best option at this point from a scripting
perspective.

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
