I'm having a little problem, I'm trying to export my DHCP database to a text file using the good ol Microsoft command line

dhcpcmd 127.0.0.1 enumclients 11.101.0.0 -h >export.txt and putting my server info were it is needed but not to my surprise when I go to execute the command it tells me dhcpcmd is not a known command go figure.

Ive looked all over the net and its the same thing. Does anyone know another way? :doh:
 
Are you referring to the Windows Server DHCP database? If so you can simply export it using the DHCP console.
 
Or you could use netsh and pipe whatever you want to text file.

e.g. if you want reversations piped use the following:

netsh dhcp server {IP} scope {scope address} dump > c:\randomcrap.txt

If you're exporting for use on any non-MS DHCP server, the file is pretty close to unusable. So I guess the crux of the matter is what type of DHCP server the data will be migrated to, if any... or if he just needs a human-readable DHCP lease list for a spreadsheet or the like. :)
 
Heh, no kidding. I remember something about writing a conversion script from MS for use with dnsmasq back in the day, but that was a while back. But anyway, this thread is really old (look at the dates!) so hopefully he's done what he needed to by now. :)
 
I dunno, theres a lot of 'learndirect' insta-techies out there these days. Its entirely possible he's still working on it.
