The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Move the DHCP Server Windows 2000

Asked by ocsnyc in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Windows 2000 Operating System, Miscellaneous Networking

Tags: , , , ,

Hi all,

I have 2 DHCP Servers running on the Network based on Windows 2000 Server SP4, 1 DHCP is running on Domain Controller with address range 172.16.128.169 to 172.16.128.250. The other DHCP Server is running on one of our Member server with address range 172.16.128.41 to 172.16.128.168.
Nothings' wrong with both DHCP servers, everything runs well.
We just need to ditch the old Domain Controller which involve the removal of DHCP Server in it.
The plan is to move both DHCP Server into ONE other member server and combine the address range, 172.16.128.41 to 172.16.128.250, which makes it only one DHCP server on the network.
All our clients are running either Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP.
It's not really migration from the old dhcp to the new dhcp with the same exact setting and address range
since it will be different. Moving the dhcp database fr the old one and restore the conf. fr regedit will move the old DHCP setting.
How's the process to disable/unauthorieze the 2 DHCP server?
Should i type net stop DHCPServer on cmd and then unauthorize the DHCP on both?
And then install the DHCP on the new Server, create an new address range, Authorize it, etc.
Would that be a problem if the clients are connected to the network while I'm doing the shifting?
All the clients should looking a new DHCP server when the address lease is expirerd, right? and finding
a new DHCP server on the Network.
Thank you All
