Windows Server comes with a DHCP server. In terms of failover, there is no such thing for DHCP. However, you can setup multiple DHCP servers to be redundant by running multiple DHCP servers - as long as they do not have overlapping IP scopes. -- ME2 On Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 2:19 PM, Bill

You can cluster DHCP using MSCS. This requires shared storage, but there is no software cost beyond the 2 Windows licenses. -Original Message- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:michealespin...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 2:37 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: DHCP
