Thanks Alan for your answer. I was not sure whether I can extend my DHCP scope as such. Now I've extended the scope as 10.151.50.1-10.151.51.254/<wbr />255.255.0.<wbr />0 &amp;&nbsp;excluded the IP addresses 10.151.50.255 &amp;&nbsp;10.151.51.0. Now things are fine.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a windows 2000 domain with a DHCP server. <br />
My current network is 10.151.x.x/255.255.0.0 with all servers on the 10.151.10.x/255.255.0.0 subnet &amp;&nbsp;the DHCP clients in the subnet 10.151.50.x/255.255.0.0. My current DHCP server is configured with scope 10.151.50.x/255.255.0.0. Now I'm running out of IP addresses in the current subnet. I need another subnet 10.151.51.x/255.255.0.0 to be added. Is this possible? Can I add another DHCP server in the same network to serve this new scope? Or should I change to VLAN switches?

DHCP: Running out of IP addresses in the scope

I have a windows 2000 domain with a DHCP server. 
My current network is 10.151.x.x/255.255.0.0 with all servers on the 10.151.10.x/255.255.0.0 subnet &amp; the DHCP clients in the subnet 10.151.50.x/255.255.0.0. My current DHCP server is configured with scope 10.151.50.x/255.255.0.0. Now I&#39;m running out of IP addresses in the current subnet. I need another subnet 10.151.51.x/255.255.0.0 to be added. Is this possible? Can I add another DHCP server in the same network to serve this new scope? Or should I change to VLAN switches?

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
