• On 2003 DC open cmd prompt
• Netsh
• dhcp
• server file://servername/
• export c:\w2k3DHCPdb all
• copy to new DC
• Log onto new DC and open command prompt
• net stop dhcpserver
• rename or delete DHCP.mdb from system32\dhcp folder
• net start dhcpserver
• netsh
• dhcp
• server file://servername/
• import c:\w2k3DHCPdb
• Restart DHCP and verify that all information was moved
• Change your scope options to the correct settings if needed (ie DNS and WINS)

Don't forget to Deactivate the old server scope(s) that where transfered.
