Migrate DHCP Reservations with Powershell
In order to Migrate DHCP Reservations with Powershell, you just need one simple line of code. It works also with different OS, for instance I managed to migrate the DHCP Reservations I had on a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 server over to a Windows Server 2012 R2.
I suggest to run the command from the OS where you’re migrating to, which in theory is going to be the newer version.
Get-DhcpServerv4Reservation -computername SRV01 -ScopeId "10.220.0.0" | Add-DhcpServerv4Reservation -ComputerName NEWSRV02 -ScopeId "10.220.0.0"
The above command will first get (Get-DhcpServerv4Reservation) the current reservations on SRV01 for the Scope ID 10.220.0.0, then, it’ll add each reservation (Add-DhcpServerv4Reservation) to the server called NEWSRV02 for the Scope ID 10.220.0.0.
Migrating DHCP reservations with powershell will make migrations a bit less painful 🙂 .
