Is the &quot;Split Scope&quot; going to AUTOMATICALLY start issuing IPs from the down server's range (i.e. 151-200) when the only working server's &quot;DHCP&quot; (i.e. 100-150) range is &quot;100%&quot; in-use or do I need to MANUALLY expand the working server's range when the other server dies to be able to use the entire range on one server ?<br />

<br />
I currently have two test DHCP servers setup on a &quot;Split Scope&quot; that work fine, issuing IPs when the other server is down<br />
<br />
&nbsp;1. 1st &quot;DHCP&quot; server's 192.168.65.100 - 192.168.65.150 range is down<br />
&nbsp;2. cliet IP gets issued from 2nd &quot;DHCP&quot; server's 192.168.65.151 - 192.168.65.200 range<br />
&nbsp;3. 2nd &quot;DHCP&quot; server's 192.168.65.151 - 192.168.65.200 range is down<br />

Is the "Split Scope" going to AUTOMATICALLY start issuing IPs from the down server's range (i.e. 151-200) when the only working server's "DHCP" (i.e. 100-150) range is "100%" in-use or do I need to MANUALLY expand the working server's range when the other server dies to be able to use the entire range on one server ?

Example

I currently have two test DHCP servers setup on a "Split Scope" that work fine, issuing IPs when the other server is down

 1. 1st "DHCP" server's 192.168.65.100 - 192.168.65.150 range is down
 2. cliet IP gets issued from 2nd "DHCP" server's 192.168.65.151 - 192.168.65.200 range
 3. 2nd "DHCP" server's 192.168.65.151 - 192.168.65.200 range is down
 4. cliet IP gets issued from 1st "DHCP" server's 192.168.65.100 - 192.168.65.150 range

Windows 2012 -- DHCP Server -- Split Scope, use FAILING server's range ?

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).

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

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.
