    You will not be able to get the PowerShell DHCP module to work on Windows 2008 R2. Requires higher version, at least Windows 2012 or better 2012 R2. Use netsh instead.

    Hi,

    In regards to your issue, here're my suggestions:

    You can use 'netsh' CMD command to migrate DHCP. But still please remember to check the specific configuration such options after migration on the new server. I’ve tested in my environment and it successed.

    The migration steps:
    (1) Backup old DHCP server

    (2) Create a new txt file under C:\backup

    (3) Run CMD command 'netsh dhcp server export C:\backup.txt all''

    (4) Deploy the new DHCP server and authorize

    (5) Run CMD command 'netsh dhcp server import C:\backup.txt all'

    (6) Check the configuration

    For more details, you can refer to the following link；

    Best regards,

    But we don't want to migrate currently, currently we only want to change the dns IP's on all scopes in server 2008r2.
