I have a question about the bootP forwarding and netsh dhcp.
Alrite, here is my question. If I enable the bootp forwarding on my router, do I also have to enable the BOOTP option in DHCP server as well??? Under the properties of each scope, advance sheet, you will see few options about "assign Ip address dynamtically to clients of either dhcp, bootp or both". Do i need to enable bootp option here if i have enabled bootp in the router??? I have never played around this because my router doesnt' even have bootp yet dhcp relay agent. Sorry if this is a **** question.
2nd question, what's up with the netsh command for migration of dhcp settings? can't we just use backup and restore in the dhcp console? just get a little bit confused. can you please show some scenarios which options we should use?
Trying to kill my beast soon. Your great is appreciated.
Thank you so much.

Those are good questions. The simple answer to your first question is; no, you do not need to enable bootp. Here is a real good link to more than you ever wanted to know about DHCP:

As far as your second question, perhaps you need to migrate several DHCP servers as part of a larger task. You could include this task along with other things in a script to avoid doing it manually on dozens of servers. Another would be scripting a scheduled backup of the DHCP server database.
Good luck on the Beast!
