Thanks Meinolf, unfortunately I need some way setting up a DHCP
server to slowly migrate accounts from the Linux box to the Windows
box. Without getting into the politics of our organisation,
everything is handled by Linux (External DNS, DHCP, Spam filters, VPN
etc) and I am trying to move it to Windows as our Linux suport
contract expires shortly and we dn't have the expertise in house. I
also have problems with the fact that we are 24/7 in operation and
our field workers have suffered with poor connectivity but DON'T like
changing.
I am quite new to this side of things (am due to undertake acourse
for Microsoft exam 70-291
), so please excuse me if I sound idiotic. If I set up a DHCP server
on the Windows box with a 10.1.2.x ip range, could I point certain
PC's to that DHCP server and still maintain connectivity with the
rest of the network? TJ
No, alas - the way DHCP works, is first come, first served. If you can get
your hands on a switch that supports VLANs you can set up your new Windows
network on one and slowly move your workstations to it as you migrate them,
by connecting them to the new network.

Hello TJ,
You can not do it. The way in DHCP is first come, first serve. Maybe
you can add reservations, but even that can not give 100%

Hi
I have one subnet with an IP range 10.1.1.0:255 on a Linux Server. I
would like to limit his to 10.1.1.0 to 10.1.1.200 and add a second
DHCP server on Windows 2003 R2 SP2 using 10.1.1.201 to 10.1.1.255
with a few to migrating the DHCP server to Windows.
How would I force certain PC's to the Windows DHCP and leave the
rest on Linux, while maintainig connectivity between all PC's and
server on the network?
TJ
