Can you tell me that after running this command, will the DHCP server still have the scope information (with leases) intact? It isn't clear whether that will be the case or not (see <a href="https://www.faqforge.com/windows-server-2016/de-configure-dhcp-failover-windows-server-2016/" rel="ugc">https://www.faqforge.com/windows-server-2016/de-configure-dhcp-failover-windows-server-2016/</a>)

Sorry, I posted my comment just before leaving work yesterday and didn't check it again until this morning. Glad you got it sorted out!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We recently provisioned a new Windows Server 2016 VM on a network with an existing Windows Server 2012 R2 VM that is the current DC and DHCP server. The intention was to transition all of the roles to the new VM. The question here is with regards to the DHCP portion.<br />
<br />
We successfully set up the new VM as a DHCP failover partner and verified it was serving DCHP requests. We then decommissioned the old DC and now the new server is running DHCP with its partner (the old server) as down/failed.<br />
<br />
The question is this: how do I change the config so that there is no longer a replication/failover partner with DHCP?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!

Transitioning DHCP to failover partner

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 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.

Windows Server 2016 is the successor to Windows Server 2012 R2. Built upon the same core code as Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 brings enhancements in security, servicing, and connectivity. A particular focus on this release was hybrid-cloud scenarios, and has close ties to Azure and other Microsoft cloud initiatives. This does not detract from the many improvements that are available for on-premises-only deployments

Windows Server 2016 comes in Datacenter, Standard, and Essentials editions, and for servicing, has adopted windows 10's cumulative model. The new nano-server install is designed to be remotely managed and is designed to be kept current through continuous feature updates. The full GUI install operates similarly to windows 10's "Long Term Servicing Branch" (LTSB) model with cumulative security updates.

Windows Server 2016 has also shifted from a per-processor-and-CAL licensing model to a per-core-and CAL licensing model. This brings Windows Server's licensing more in line with Microsoft's other products and makes hybrid-cloud license planning easier as well.
