ok, so in this case, do I setup the DHCP Failover first on both new WIn2012R2 server and then migrate the DHCP database and scope manually one by one ?<br />
<br />
Or the other way around ? set i t up first in one of the WIn2012R2 server as standalone server, then do failover ?<br />
<br />
My understanding is that the server is running Active/Passive just like Microsoft Clustering.

Ok,<br />
<br />
So in this case I will migrate the DHCP database first and then configure the failover later on.<br />
<br />
Does the DHCP server then running as Active Passive for all the subnets ?

Hi people,<br />
<br />
I'd like to consolidate multiple DHCP server in all of my site office into the two Data Centre Windows server 2012 R2 running DHCP server resilience (cluster).<br />
<br />
What would be the steps and procedure to do it ?<br />
I know that each VLAN and switch must be configured with DHCP helper first, but not sure if I should migrate all existing DHCP database from multiple server first or setup the clustering first ?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

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).

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
