5. netsh dhcp server import c:\dhcp.txt all

6. Once import is completed

7. Stop the DHCP & remove the role from Old Server

Hi Admin

Here is some details on Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit (MAP)

The Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit (MAP) is a solution accelerator that analyzes the inventory of an organization’s server infrastructure, performs an assessment, and then creates reports that you can use for upgrade and migration plans.

MAP performs four key functions: discovery and inventory of computers and applications, hardware and software migration readiness assessments, software usage tracking, and capacity planning for virtualization, public and private cloud migration.

MAP will answer questions like: Which computer can run Windows Server 2016? Which computers cannot run Windows Server 2016 and what upgrades are needed? Which current physical servers are the best candidates for virtualization and the hosts on which you should place those virtual machines?

Hi Admin

Here is the list of commands can be used to generate the installed patches on windows Server.

Option 1

Get psinfo from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897550.aspx

Run psinfo -h to get the list of hotfixes

Option 2

Another method that doesn't require 3rd party software using wmic; just type: wmic qfe from the command line. The default output gives really long lines, so you might be better off redirecting to a file and viewing it in your favourite text editor.

Variations on a theme include:

wmic qfe list full
wmic qfe get HotfixID,ServicePackInEffect,InstallDate,InstalledBy,InstalledOn
wmic qfe where "HotfixID = 'KBXXXXXX'"
wmic qfe where "HotfixID = 'KBXXXXXX'" get HotfixID, InstallDate, InstalledBy, InstalledOn
wmic qfe where "HotfixID = 'KBXXXXXX" list full
wmic /node:myserver qfe list full

Option 3
Use Powershell to do the same thing.

Local: get-wmiobject -class win32_quickfixengineering
Remote: get-wmiobject -class win32_quickfixengineering -computername mysever

Again, this can take filters, for example:

get-wmiobject -class win32_quickfixengineering -filter "HotfixID = 'KBXXXXXX'"
...or as it's Powershell, just pipe through where-object.

Option 4

You can try this instead:

$Session = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Session
$Searcher = $Session.CreateUpdateSearcher()
$Searcher.Search("IsInstalled=1").Updates | ft -a Date,Title

Thanks
