hi,

 

thanks post.

 

from description, understand know how migrate dhcp server windows server 2003 windows server 2008.

 

we can have 2 dhcp servers @ same time. using more 1 dhcp server on same subnet provides increased fault tolerance servicing dhcp clients located on it. 2 dhcp servers, if 1 server unavailable, other server can take place , continue lease new addresses or renew existing clients.
