Hi
I have test platform network running server 2012, the PCs are cat cabled back to the network switch. All the PCs connect to the domain.
I also have several wifi devices (laptops/tablets/smartphones) which connect the internet but not the server or domain. The Virgin Media router also has DHCP.
The router is fixed to 192.168.1.1 The server is fixed to 192.168.1.2
I've also set the ranges for DHCP so the server has 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.230 The router has the range 192.168.1.239 and above.
My thinking was if anything logs into the domain it will take the server DHCP IP address range and wifi devices from the router DHCP IP range.
Having checked all the connected devices they all seem to be 239 and above.
It appears it is a bad idea to have 2 DHCP servers but not sure if this will stop the tablets and smartphones getting a connection.
Could anyone point me towards best practices please. Not sure if I can turn off DHCP on the server altogether.

We have 2 x DNS 2012 servers on the network DNS-A and DNS-B but the second one is only used in auto failover situations within the 3 clusters. Maybe you should take a look at clustering.

Doh!!! read this as DNS not DHCP!! But the same thing goes as the DHCP is turned on for each DNS server but only one is in operation at any one time.

You may well get a better response making this [NF] as opposed to [OT] Graham!
