Thanks.  Can I do this while people are working or should i wait for after hours???

You should be able to do it during hours...it all depends on how crazy your clients are really. Windows machines will hang on to the lease until it's released or their machine is restarted. Macs may release the IP at any time. The setup should only take a few minutes and will most likely go unnoticed.

I'm temporarily taking down my DHCP server/dc to reinstall it for server 2008. &nbsp;This was my FSMO server. &nbsp;I've already transferred the roles. &nbsp;Is there a way to transfer/move DHCP to my 2008 server until I bring my &quot;new&quot; 2008 server back on line??? &nbsp;DHCP is now installed on a 2003 domain controller. &nbsp;Basically I want to move it to the current DC which is 2008 and move it back to the DC which will be 2008.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
