Three years? Wow. I ran Bluecats a while ago and the conversion was actually pretty easy. We had a DNS server for both windows and *nix and the dhcp aspect annoyed the *nix people.
We did eventually switch to infoblox when they came in with a deal which was too good to ignore. -----Original Message----- From: Senter, John [mailto:john.sen...@etrade.com] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2013 10:27 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Slightly OT: RE: Migrate DHCP from 2003 to 2008 R2 Good luck with the BLuecat products. We have been working with them for a couple of years with the end goal of having the Windows DNS and DHCP in that system. And after 3 years it has not happened and looks like management is done with trying. So for now it all stays on the Windows side, and now that Windows 2012 has a true DHCP failover I do not see a need to move it away. -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2013 1:11 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Slightly OT: RE: Migrate DHCP from 2003 to 2008 R2 If Webster doesn't, you'll find some guys with experience with the Infoblox stuff on the ActiveDirectory list - activedir.org It's a very worthwhile list, with a lower noise ratio than this one, and some really bright guys, including a couple who inhabit this list.
