I have also seen in high availability scenarios where 2 DHCP servers were on the same subnet, but had alternating ranges for non-reserved DHCP addresses.   Steven "Duuude" Comeau Systems Administrator Main Tape 1 Capital Drive, Suite 101 Cranbury, NJ  08512 1-800-526-8273 x332     -----Original Message----- From: Brian Pietrewicz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 8:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DHCP/Netsh   Your can have two identical DHCP servers if you use reservations for all IP’s.  I do this for security reasons.    -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Rochford Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 7:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DHCP/Netsh   You can't have 2 identical servers running at the same time (you'd get some exciting conflicts!) but you could dump your working server and keep the file safe. When your working server fails you then just reload the data into a "spare" server and your DHCP server is back and running. I'd guess it would make sense to do a scheduled dump of this data at regular intervals so that the file is always reasonably up to date.   Steve -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 October 2003 17:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] DHCP/Netsh Everyone,   Has anyone ever used Netsh to move DHCP to another server? In Mark Minasi’s book he talks about using it to add another DHCP server to your network by dumping it with Netsh from one machine and Exec it to another machine. He did not go into much detail but I did not think you could have identically configured DHCP server’s on a network.   Thanks Jerry   Scicom Data Services Minnetonka,Mn
