I have copied the dhcp dir from the dhcp server to another w2k dhcp server. How can I get the new w2k dhcp server to use the copied dhcp database?

Copy the DHCP database file (Dhcp.mdb) from the %SystemRoot%\System32\Dhcp
folder on the source server to the %SystemRoot%\System32\Dhcp folder on the
destination server.

1. Use the "net start dhcpserver" (without the quotation marks) command to start
the DHCP Server service. You should receive the following message:

The DHCP Server service was started successfully

2. Start the DHCP Server snap-in from the Administrative Tools group.

3. Click the destination DHCP server, and then click Reconcile All Scopes on
the Action menu. Click Verify. If any leases need to be reconciled, click
Reconcile to synchronize the registry and database.

4. If the Windows 2000-based server is part of an Active Directory domain, the
server must be Authorized.

see document [Q130642] in technet for more complete details if needed.
