Hi All So I am having a bit of an issue creating the new DHCP server on our new network. We have a new physical server running Xenserver 7.0 and the DHCP is being run on Server 2016. Our switches are all HP and the core switch has the the old DHCP hard coded into the Trap Receiver So these are the steps I have done so far... Created new DHCP on Server 2016 Assigned the same IP address and MAC address to the network for the new VM hosting the new DHCP so it mimics the OLD DHCP server settings. The Core switch has the Trap Receiver set to the old DHCP and this goes for every other switch in the school so by giving the new DHCP server the same IP I can save a lot of time by not changing the IP address on ever switch. I have made a copy of all the scopes from the old DHCP and copied them to the new one (checked all the copes for consistency). I then un-authenticated the old DHCP and stopped the DHCP Server service then authenticated the the new DHCP and restarted the service. I have added the credentials for the server on the IPV4 settings on the DHCP settings here: The bindings is set to the IP address of the server like the old one DHCP server is: So with all of that I get the Blue Explanation Mark on the IPV4 saying I have run out of IP address which is wrong because I have thousands left so no IP address are being sent out What else could I be missing? Its been driving me mad for weeks. Any help with the issue would be brilliant Regards Safa

I am not really looking for the usual user management features that exist in some / many pieces of software that tap into MS AD. What I want to do is be able to produce reports detailing the user account information, namely username and password. In the past I have used an excel file and merged it to word to produce a little wallet sized card with all the appropriate network and email account information on it. The teachers have found this very useful as I can quickly produce a class set and when thirty kids walk in the ICT we can get them logged in as quick as possible. I kept on top of for a couple of schools (only visiting 1 day a week) and worked well when you used this as the central account db and just exported to the various system for instance, AD and bgfl email and some school software applications. Now I am looking for something that will query AD and produce the same soft of reports (8 wallet sized network accounts) and something that will be as flexible as excel / mail merge and allow me to add other bits of info!! Has anyone used anything like this before? Thanks in advance - not long now!!
