RE: [ActiveDir] Changing DHCP Servers

I agree, but in my case I have no choice. But, as to your question, yes it is as simple as that. Just deactivate the scope on the win2k box, and activate it on your w2k3 box. One thing I noticed, shutting down DHCP server on the w2k3 box and restarting it was necessary. Don't ask me why, it just was. -----Original Message----- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 10:38 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Changing DHCP Servers I'd suggest against running DHCP on a domain controller, due to a know security issue. However, its a fairly small window of opportunity, but it is a ugly hole if it is exploited.     -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.

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
