Move single DHCP scope from one DHCP server to another

Hello I am trying to get a single DHCP scope moved from one DHCP server to another. I am moving DHCP servers with multiple scopes to new servers and the commands I am running now, will export ALL scopes on the server to and .xml file then imported on the new server and this works fine but I have another server with multiple scopes but want to selectively export specific scope(s) only. The commands I am running now are....

To Export.

Export-DhcpServer -ComputerName "DHCPSERVERNAME" -Leases -File "C:\temp\DHCP-EXPORT.xml"

 To Import.

Import-DhcpServer -Leases –File "C:\Users\admin\Desktop\DHCP-EXPORT.xml" -BackupPath "C:\Users\admin\Desktop\Backup" –Verbose

 

DHCP
powershell
Windows Server

    Hi Charlie, you can create a failover relationship for the specific scope. Once the scope is synchronised to the new dhcp server, you can break the relationship on the new server which removes the scope from the source server.
