Moving DHCP from Domain Server to Member Server W2k

[neodata]

I recently enter an environment where they have the DHCP service installed on a Domain Server. I know this is a security issue. What is the best method to migrate this to a member server and will I have any issues with DNS records?

When you say domain server I assume you mean DC, just install DHCP on the member server and auth it in AD, and unauth the old one if you no longer wish to use it.

As long as the new DNS Member Server points to the real DNS server everything will work fine. Where I work we have a lot of DHCP Member Servers, and each DC has DNS links going "upward" thruogh the forest. It has taken a couple of years to deploy it correctly but it works without over-loading the long distance links with tons of DNS/DHCP traffic.

I'm interested to know which security issue you are referring to, as the only one I knew of was resolved in service pack 1.

Do you have links to any articles you can post?

Andy,

I was assuming that was kind of dated as well. We operate DHCP servers as non DC's for a matter of load. We want logins to be fast, and DHCP request to be fast, and DNS requests to be fast. We've got a LOT of servers
