Peter,
You can try running the command "netsh dhcp server dump" from the Windows 2003 server, and it will output the configuration of the MS DHCP server.

Regards,

After engaging a perl monger (or closer to one than I am), I found that 
perl was finding the module and was reading the registry, but that the 
config data wasn't there.

Looks like W2K3 keeps the config in an mdb ...  Now, if I could just figure 
out how to copy the database ... Windows won't let me kill the DHCP service 
and the dhcp.mdb is locked!

Fun, fun.  :-)
