Re: Domain users cannot logon to domain

- Martin - The scopes don't replicate, the only thing that replicates is the
AD DHCP Authorization. You can check that by going to DHCP mmc console,
right click on DHCP (not the server), choose the option Manage Authorized
servers, then you should see which servers are authorized in AD. You can
also authorize DHCP servers by right clicking on the DHCP server, than
choose the option authorize.



- Create a normal user account with a non-expiring password, then go to DHCP
mmc console, right click on the DHCP server, choose properties, go to
Advanced tab - click credentials, and place here the account that you just
created. (This account will be used to register DNS records on behalf of the
DHCP clients).

I created the DHCP and the scope on DC2. It replicated to DC1.

DC1: Scope [192.169.10.0] Child1.Domain.net
DC2: Scope [192.169.10.0] Child1

When i created the scope on DC2 i typed "Child1.Domain.net" and thats
not what the scope is named now.

I prefer to run only one dhcp and run the dhcp on DC2 because i want
the child DC's to run as independently as possible from the tree root.



Hi Martin

On Site(1) there was a DHCP running with no scope on DC1 and a DHCP
with a scope on DC2.
I Removed the DHCP role from DC1 because there should only be 1 DHCP
per site in my opinion.
I just noticed that by itself the DHCP on DC2 was also removed. OOPS!
Not what i wanted. So i reinstalled the DHCP role on DC2 and to my
surprise there is no a identical DHCP with scope on DC1.

- You can have both DHCP servers running, as long as you ton't oberlap
eachother Scopes.
check:
Configuring scopes
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/advanced/help/sag_DHCP_imp_ConfigScopes.htm

- check under system32\dhcp\backup - directory and if you have any backup
you can recover it to DC2


Someting strange with the scope name. I created the DHCP role on DC2
with Child.Domain.net name. Scope names on both DC's are not
identical.

- first, force replication between the DCs then check again.
- A question - You have configured DHCP service on DC2 and DC1, with the
same scope? If yes, plase don't do that, check the link that I provided to
you.
