I am getting ready to shut down a server running windows server 2008 with dns, dhcp, etc. &nbsp;I am going to completely get rid of this server. &nbsp;I have a new Windows 2012 server set up with DNS, and is now the primary domain controller within the network. &nbsp;The only service it is not running is dhcp. &nbsp;I want to set up an entirely new scope on the new server. &nbsp;(I inherited the old one and it was set up with a 20. range.) &nbsp;I was told I should change to the 10.

What is the best way to go about this?

Windows OS

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).
