I have been throught the Microsoft documentation for
recovering the DHCP databases and using the Reconcile
facility but no joy. Everytime I bring back an old
database none of the scopes appear. Can anyone help ?
 
Did you also recover the reg key from the failed server?

Also, did you set the databaserestoreflag in the registry?

Generally, this is what you need to do:

backup the HKLM>Software>Microsoft>DHCPServer>Configuration key.

Restore that to the new server.
Copy any backups you have of the database to the backup\jet\new folder.
Set the databaserestoreflag to 1 (this can be done with NETSH).
make sure there is nothing in the %systemroot%\system32\dhcp folder (except
for the subfolders).
Start the DHCP service.
Reconile the database

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you migrating? If so, from what to
what?

Migrating from NT4 to Windows 2000 Server takes different steps than
migrating from NT4 to Windows Server 2003, depending on which process you
decide to use...
