My company will be moving in a few weeks and as part of the move, I'll be phasing out two old domain controllers. Before I do that, I plan to move DHCP services to the new DCs. I tried to set this up while at our current location, but then realized that the IP Helper on our switch points to the old domain and this was (likely) preventing our new one from responding to and distributing addresses. <br />
<br />
So my question is - if I just set up the new office with the IP helper for my VLANs on new switch hardware pointing to the new DC/DHCP server, am I likely to run into issues? (The old DCs would still be available but I'd hope not responding to DHCP/ DNS requests.)<br />
<br />
Or, should I really look to tweak the switch settings in the current location to include the new DHCP server before I move?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Move DHCP services - timing with respect to a business move.

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 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.
