access denied on dhcp authorization

[jseber1982]

Just brough up a secondary domain controller for this domain. DHCP is currently running on the main DC and has a big scope. I am putting dhcp on the secondary for fault tolerance. I set the scope on the secondary using half of the scope the first one has. Once i get this one up, i will remove the scope on the primary and create a new one using the other half of the ips from the original scope.

Both machines are dns servers. I am a member of the domain admin, enterprise admin, and dhcp admin. Maybe i cant authorize the secondary dhcp scope because the scope is still active ont he other? i dunno

Correct. Can't have overlaying scopes.

Correct. Can't have overlaying scopes.

bingo bango! Perhaps what I would reccomend..and this is tough because these IP's may already be assigned...ughh that is just to complicated..just redo the scope then build the second one how big is the network? Is this a 24/7 operation? Could you take over the system late at night when everyone is gone perhaps?
