RE: [ActiveDir] Changing DHCP Servers

[Rich Milburn]

Even without the same IP, clients will check their DHCP server that the lease is still valid up until a certain point, then they’ll look for any DHCP server.  They might (I think they do, IIRC) log errors in the event log, but the clients will switch to the new DHCP server without any problems after a certain amount of time.  This is without moving the database, IP, or anything like that – just standing up a new DHCP server and authorizing it and deactivating the scope on the old one.  Not the prettiest way to do it, but it works fine.   Rich   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 8:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Changing DHCP Servers   Yes, if you have the same ip address for new DHCP Server + i guess the clients shuld renew their ip address again   -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 4:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Changing DHCP Servers Everyone   I have added a w2k3 DC into our network and am gradually giving it more responsibility, so far so good. The next thing I want to do is make it our DHCP server (currently being held by win2k server that is going to be formatted and made into w2k3). I have created an identical scope on the new box but have not activated it. Is it just a matter of deactivating the old and activating the new, or is it more involved than that?   Thank You   Jerry Scicom Data Services Minnetonka,Mn     ----------------------------------------------------- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom/which they are addressed.
