RE: [ActiveDir] DHCP/Netsh

Microsoft also makes a pretty nice utility to migrate scopes off one DHCP server and move them to another.  Automation is the way to go using NETSH, but I just point out the other option as a better migration path to be able to make sure the server is operational and the scopes are activated.   Hey Robbie this sounds like a excellent recipe idea for your next cookbook.   Todd -----Original Message----- From: Steve Rochford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 7:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DHCP/Netsh You can't have 2 identical servers running at the same time (you'd get some exciting conflicts!) but you could dump your working server and keep the file safe. When your working server fails you then just reload the data into a "spare" server and your DHCP server is back and running. I'd guess it would make sense to do a scheduled dump of this data at regular intervals so that the file is always reasonably up to date.   Steve -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 October 2003 17:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] DHCP/Netsh Everyone,   Has anyone ever used Netsh to move DHCP to another server? In Mark Minasi's book he talks about using it to add another DHCP server to your network by dumping it with Netsh from one machine and Exec it to another machine. He did not go into much detail but I did not think you could have identically configured DHCP server's on a network.   Thanks Jerry   Scicom Data Services Minnetonka,Mn
