Hi, I had 2 forest win 2003 hq.lan and branch.lan which was trusted to each other both were having it's own DNS and DHCP, now i have removed the trust between the two and decommisioned the branch.lan server, but somehow in the hq.lan DHCP server whenever tried to add server it shows branch.lan, i have tried deleting and restarting but automatically even without adding any server under DHCP branch.lan appears again. how to resolve this. Regards syinfra

Hi. Something is wrong: servers in branch.lan have not static ip address ? Edoardo Benussi - Microsoft® MVP Management Infrastructure - Systems Administration https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/Profile/Benussi Windows Server Italian Forum Moderator edo[at]mvps[dot]org

Hi, Both were forest having it's respective static ip addresses. regards Dd4u

and do you mean that server with static ip in branch.lan requires an ip address to dhcp server in hq.lan ? Edoardo Benussi - Microsoft® MVP Management Infrastructure - Systems Administration https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/Profile/Benussi Windows Server Italian Forum Moderator edo[at]mvps[dot]org
