Distribution range for DHCP

Hello,
I'm a newbie to dhcp and I'm trying to add an address range for distribution
to an existing to scope. I can figure out how to exclude addresses but not
add addresses. In our scope at the moment we have 2 different ranges for
distribution (192.168.0.x-192.168.0.xx & 192.168.0.xx-192.168.0xxx) and ip
addresses excluded.
Thanks in advance!

How about creating a superscope?

That is for Multi-Nets. It would "work", but isn't the proper way to do it.

When the scope is originally created you should already use the *entire* IP
Range of the subnet it serves. Then then use the Exclusions to limit the
address given out.

192.168.0.1 -- 192.168.0.254
Then do the exclusions how you see fit.

Scopes can only have one range, so I don't know what you mean by "two
ranges". You can change the range anytime you want by going into the
properties of the scope. The only thing you can not change is the mask.
