Set the lease time to a very short period (1 hour)enough time ahead to ensure all the leases are this length, and try to do the cutover when most of the machines are off. Another possibility could be to move off users off one end of the scope, and activate that part of the scope on the new DHCP server.

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.
