Hello all,
I have posted this question in the windows section, but I think I might get a better response in here, so here goes.....
I work for a company that has two sites. We currently have 2 DC on each site. One of my DCs is working great for a print, DNS, DHCP and AD server.
I have recently decided to use the 2nd DC as a backup in case the 1st dies.
I have managed to migrate the printers, DNS and AD without issues but I'm struggling with the DHCP server.
When I installed the DHCP service and started it for the first time, I create a scope (different to the 1st) and configured the network settings without issue.
My problem is that I can’t seem to get it authorized so it's not dishing out addresses.
I clicked on tools and then authorized but no matter how long I wait (or how many reboots I give it) it still won't show as authorized.
If I click on tools again I can see that the authorized button has changed to unauthorized and if I remote on to the other DHCP servers and right click DHCP on the top of the tree and open the 'manage authorized servers' button I can see that all the other DHCP servers are seeing my 2nd as a listed authorized server.
But still my 2nd server is still showing the 'Authorize DHCP server' error in the right hand window pane.
Can anyone help a chap out and shed any light on what I've done wrong or need to configure to get this working??
Thanking you in advance!
