RE: Split Scope DHCP on 2008 R2?
Noted and thanks. Hopefully not an issue for us. I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons to upgrade our DC's but in terms of core functionality this is a big one.

This is the work around so they don’t compete. If your DHCP server is sluggish or busy you may have to up the time period a little, and at the same time make sure the clients don’t give up (this is quite a while for pc’s but sometimes printers/voip devices give up quicker).

I just want to be sure that I understand this feature correctly before I get too excited and look at upgrading our DC's to 2008 R2. I have 2 DHCP servers, let's call them PRI and SEC. I also want to use reservations but in an outage the reservations are something I could live without having available. So I setup DHCP on PRI and configure the reservations. I setup DHCP on SEC with no reservations. I then configure split-scope on PRI using the wizard, and tell it to set the delay on SEC to 1000ms. I now have two DHCP servers, but so long as PRI is running it will always service requests first?
