[@NLBSolutions]

Thank you Ali!

[@frankindude]

Well done. Clear and concise information.

[@gustavosuarez3096]

Stupid question! from a network access view, for this to work it would mean that "two" "ip helper" addresses need to be configured for the DHCP vlan, correct?

[@peravelli8]

Thank you for sharing this video us ! It’s useful

Hello NLB! I'm having an issue with something, so I've got my other windows 2016 server up and running with DHCP configured but when i try to join the server to my domain through 'File explorer > This PC > Properties > change settings > change > domain , it doesn't work and I'm given the following message; "yourdomain" could not be detected , Ensure that the domain name is typed correctly. I've followed your other video tutorial on how to configure dhcp, but in this instance I have configured DHCP on another server to allow the failover feature to work on my main DC. When on my main DC server, i try to configure failover by rightclicking IPv4 in the DHCP controller and it doesn't detect my other server? Any advise?

[@Derisoireetsardonique]

Thanks a lot for the video

[@NLBSolutions]

Thank you for the support Carlo!

Hi NLB, Can you please make a video about how to create a Jump server?

[@umairsheikh440]

You are Just AWSOME

[@NLBSolutions]

Thank you, Umair!

[@cdphotography2]

Is it possible to monitor the failover and send an alert if failover is not set ?

[@shamim58bd]

excellent

[@MoNeenja]

sorry if this is a silly question but to configure DHCP failover, I need another server and then I gotta go through setting up AD DS and all the other roles before I do any of this?

[@arisabdulgani4982]

You can join the server to the domain and install only the DHCP feature.

[@MrNuurAli]

But the client pc has no internet access How can i fix?

[@OlivierCR]

Wtf

[@hanumantlal7475]

Intresting

[@elgindor]

anyone know who to make the fail over server the primary after being fail over?

Part 3 - Migrating DHCP where the video ?

[@CrimsonKarl]

What about a situation where a DHCP server is handling multiple subnets? Typically you would put a 'helper address' in your router/layer3 switch to send requests to the DHCP server, but if you are using DHCP failover, would you put both in there? And if so, how would the 2 servers handle/coordinate the requests?

[@sid_gallagher]

I am looking at same scenario. did you find an answer ?

[@CrimsonKarl]

siddartha reddy Never did get an answer, but we put the IP addresses of both servers in our router and it seems to work. We also simulated a failure of a server and the second server handled the request fine.

[@sid_gallagher]

@@CrimsonKarl thanks for the reply crimson. In my scenario, we got primary DHCP server on main data center and other DHCP server on secondary data center. So they are on different subnets, not sure how load balancing need to be configured on network front as load need to be shared between two servers

[@James-iq4fz]

Hi, I have a couple of questions if you could help. Has the Active - Standby issue been resolved? and in the event of a partner failiure would i have to ask my clients to release and renew? and one more question, in a loadbalanced scenario do the DHCP servers handle the loadbalancing themselves? as i would assume you would need to reference both servers on your L3. Thank you

Sir. Your audio sounds muffled. Before you publish the video, listen to it and correct it. This is ridiculous.
