Question : Problem importing Windows 2000 DHCP database into Windows 2008

I am following an EE solution below to export/import a Win2000 DHCP Db into a new Win2008 Domain Controller.

When performing > netsh dhcp server \\dc-1 import c:\temp\dhcp_export I am getting a message indicating "The requested operation requires elevation"
The admin account I am using is a member of both domain admins and schema admins.
Any suggestions on how to get round this, or how to best accomplish this DCHP migration would be appreciated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It can be done with a direct move from 2000 to 2008.

Use dhcpexim to export the DHCP database on the 2000 server.

On 2008, import the scopes by using 'netsh dhcp server import dhcpbackupfile'

You need to elevate the Command Prompt you are using.
Go to Start, type cmd into the 'Search' box, then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
If you completed this step correctly, you will now be required to press 'Continue' on a UAC prompt before the Command Prompt will display.

There are numerous cases where the DHCP database can only be restored if you boot the Domain Controller into Directory Services Restore Mode. This enables you to log in as the local server Administrator to import the database. If the above fails, this is what you need to do.
