Hello tdnnash25,

Make sure the new DHCP server is authorized in AD. In the DHCP management
console rightclick DHCP, choose "Manage authorized servers" and see if the
new one is listed.

Which OS version are you talking about?

Any firewall running on the new server?

You can run multiple DHCP servers without any problem. Just make sure they
don't offer the same range of the scope to the clients.

Best regards

Meinolf Weber
