Unathorize old DHCP server

[kennysarmy]

Just checked our DHCP.

 

In "Manage Authorized Servers":

 

I have four entries:

 

One server is in twice, with it's correct IP (10.7 range) and again with a very old IP (10.10 range).

 

Is it safe to remove the old entry?

Even if it does take both entries out you can authorise it again in seconds.

It should be safe, however you can also disable the DHCP Server service manually.

Hmmmm I clicked Unathorize and after a while of egg-timerness I get control again and it's not removed it.

 

I have:

 

fp2.domain 10.7.43.152

fp2.domain 10.10.3.2

fp2.domain 10.7.43.153

fp6.domain 10.7.43.156

 

Might I have to remove both fp2 entries?

Is there a risk if I do that of breaking anything?

 

Thanks.

Probably best if you make the change when the network's quiet.

 

I did have it happen once that no matter what I tried the entry wouldn't/couldn't be deleted, so disabling DHCP Server did the trick. Similar to your situation, it was an old server no longer used, however it was the same IP range, not a totally different range.

OK - might wait till half-term - does nt seem to be causing problems but just tidying things up before we migrate our AD to 2008 servers.
