MORE INFORMATION

  1. Run the NET STOP DHCP or NET STOP WINS command on both the Windows NT 3.51 and Windows 2000 servers.


  2. Copy the contents of the Windows NT 3.51 %SystemRoot%\System32\WINS or %SystemRoot%\System32\DHCP folder to the Windows 2000 %SystemRoot%\System32\WINS or %SystemRoot%\System32\DHCP folder.
