Re: Windows Server 2003 DHCP server - Does not release IP Addresses

Hi Oz,

Thanks for your reply. Well, yes I found the info in MS KB, where you cannot
deactivate an existing scope unless and until, you plan to totally
decommision that scope. The problem, I am facing is that since the old DHCP
server was already in place, I created the same scope in the new DHCP server
and it has had a conflict. The only way is that I need to decommission the
old server and totally shut it down and then make sure that the clients get
the IP Address from the new DHCP server.

I even disabled the services of the old DHCP server, but it did not help I
think, probably it should be unauthorized from the AD and make the new DHCP
server to be the authorized DHCP server.

Here is the info:

This might even help for others, who setup new DHCP in the same LAN with the
same scope!. I may have to head today to get this shutdown and make sure
that the other DHCP server is the only server that is advertised on the
network.

What do you think OZ ?

thanks in advance!!

Hi Felix,

Would it be possible for you to post the ip configuration for both the
windows 2000 and 2003 servers that are in question? A bit more info on
the config is needed for us to help out. Also, did you disable the old
DHCP server before you installed DHCP and created / activated the new
scope? Sometimes this does cause conflict but if it is the only DHCP
server on the network after the old one is kicked off, the workstations
/ appliances should detect it as they only send out a request packet
across the network, i may be wrong.

Cheers,
Matt Byrne
