Never mind. I got it. It is because I had a deactivated scope within the same subnet in the server 2 so I wasn't able to add the other scope. After I deleted the deactivated one, it is working now. Thanks.

No it isn't new but I have found there is usually more than one way to skin a cat.<br />
<br />
You may even get a response on how to make your example work but the way I gave is the way I would do it myself.

We have only two DC (windows 2003 servers). Both are DHCP server. One has been with the scope -- the only one on this DHCP: <br />
10.10.50.101 - 10.10.50.175 / mask 255.255.255.0<br />
When I tried to add one scope <br />
10.10.50.176 - 10.10.50.250 / mask 255.255.255.0 to the other DHCP server, I got the error:<br />
&quot;The address range and mask conflict with an existing scope&quot;<br />

I really cannot figure out why I am not able to do it. Can you please help?

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).

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
