I used a utility to export my DHCP scope configuration and lease addresses from NT server 4.0. I later imported into Windows 2000 server and scope and leases were created succesfully. When I added the server to the network it failed to give out IP addresses. If I created the scopes manually it did not have a problem.

Does anyone know of any utility that would at least import the address leases from the NT 4.0 DHCP server into the Windows 2000 DHCP Server?

Am I missing something?

If you have the scope correct and the clients are set to request a IP from DHCP then when the workstations restart or lease expires they would request a new lease from the W2K DHCP server, so you should not need to import the leases just settings

Technet article Q130642 tells you how to move the DHCP database and all of its settings from a NT4 server to a Win2000 server. No extra utilities are needed. You stop/start services, make changes to the Registry, and move files around. Just follow the steps exactly and it will all be ok. I did this once, so I know.
