I have a SBS2003 server handling DHCP requests. I want a backup DHCP server, 2008R2. Is this possible? If so recomendations?Wesley

I believe that the possible options for a backup DHCP server are as follows: 1. You must run the two servers in 80/20 mode where one server services 80% of the available scopes and the second server supports the last 20%. You could configure all of the scopes on both servers but only activate them on the "other" server when one server goes down. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc958936.aspx 2. You can configure DHCP in a Failover cluster setup. However, im do not think you can set this up with SBS server. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverNIS/thread/b384c07c-008f-4176-aee9-643288292321/ I hope this helps Regards,
