That is correct (you can have redundant DHCP without splitting the pool in Windows Server 2012).
Hyper-V 3.0 also allows you to specify critical VMs that must start first, with X delay before starting other VMs, and allow Hyper-V clusters to come online BEFORE AD starts.

Say you have to power the entire facility down for one reason or another, your hosts all have to start up cold. There is no way you will get your guest running DHCP online before all your devices elsewhere on the network are already up and looking for an address. Then the dumber devices will time out after a while and will have to be power cycled again to get their address. From my understanding 2012 also helps this problem since you can have redundant DHCP servers without splitting the pool? ________________________________ From: Michael B.
