Then you will have a bunch of IP conflicts as the new one is handing out IP's that are still in use from the old server.
Here is how I did it. You need balls of steel, but it works for small companies (100 users or less) Setup the new scope with exclusions and everything, but don't activate it. Start turning down the lease time on the old server until you have it at one minute and everyone is on that time. Then turn off the old and turn on the new at the same time. Everyone will start grabbing from the new. Any IP conflicts will be less than 1 minute. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Esgro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 11:51 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: Making a new DHCP server I never had to do this scenario before. I am looking for some suggestions on the best practice. Scenario: I have an NT 4.0 domain. The domain has 1 DHCP server with 1 scope, with some exclusions and reservations. Nothing too complicated. I want to build a new DHCP server and use the same scope. How can I accomplish this? You can't have two DHCP servers with the same scope. I am thinking shut down DHCP on the existing server, startup DHCP on the new server, create the scope. Then modify the reservations and exclusions. Is this the best and only way? Is there any easy more efficient way to do it? Thanks all.
