It is DHCP, so it can be down a little bit in off hours. I would just rebuild to a 2K3 cluster, stop the production DHCP, backup the database, down the original cluster, then import the old configuration to the new cluster. If it doesn't work, you can just turn back on the original DHCP cluster. The whole transfer takes less then 15 minutes if done right.
Word of caution, watch out for IPhelper configurations on Routers, if you assign new IP addresses to your DHCP servers, make sure that information is passed onto the network team.

I was under the impression that it was a upgrade of the OS, but reading further it is actually a fresh install of the OS. I guess I took the word Upgrade in the wrong context.

Meaning evict one node from the cluster, reload it with 2K3 and put DHCP back on then add it back into the cluster and do the other node. I've done this with SQL many times, but I forgot what changed from W2K to W2k3 for DHCP..I don't remember anything mind blowing, but I'd look into anyways. -Brandon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bahta, Nathaniel V CTR USAF NASIC/SCNA Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2006 10:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: DHCP Cluster Anybody know any good knowledgebase articles or resources for migrating a 2000 DHCP cluster to a 2003 DHCP cluster?
