Moving DHCP from Appliance to Server 2003

06-19-2007, 06:39 PM

Hi, I'm looking for general suggestions.
I have a location that uses DHCP from a Firewall and want to use DHCP from a
2003 box. Do you suggest that I have all clients shutdown at the end of the
day, kill the scope on the Firewall and then Activate the new scope from the
2003 Server?

The DHCP server should have a lease period. Reduce that, and then swap over,
