Indeed - that's what we have here (total of 6 subnets; 2 DHCP servers on each with everything on each pair but the range of addresses offered identical).

Your can have two identical DHCP servers if you use reservations for all IP’s.  I do this for security reasons.

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.

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
