If you are moving your DHCP Server from Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003, you can migrate the existing database without re-creating it on the new server. This is done by simply exporting the database from the Windows 2000 server, installing DHCP on the Windows Server 2003 server, and then importing the database. The details on this process can be found here. Note that these steps also apply when migrating from a Windows NT DHCP server.
