Windows Server 2003 DHCP server - Does not release IP Addresses

I have 2 old DCs (Windows 2000 Server) and I built an additional DC which is
Win2k3. The DC is configured properly, with DNS working. I installed DHCP on
it and wanted to add the same scope which was there in the old DHCP server
(which is on a DC). After adding it, I disabled the old DHCP server (infact
deactivated and also disabled the service). But, still the clients do not
get the DHCP address from the new server. I am not sure what could be wrong.

I went through this article, and I did as it said, but could not import the
file as it was an .mdb file and here they talk about a text file.

But, when I turn back the old DHCP server again clients start getting the IP
Address. Is there something, I am not aware in Windows Server 2003 DHCP
server.

I appreciate your early response, as I need to get this done by Monday
morning.

thanks in advance.
