Hi all

Just found this product and think its great but i am having a small problem with it

i have 2 dhcp servers and another 2 for redundancy

I have installed the service on the first server and its working great with the assigned redundant server

I currently trying to setup the second redundant server but having no luck. I have got the DHCP-backup.txt file from the actual dhcp server and copied it to the redundant server. i have stopped the dhcp service and added the dhcp-redundancy service and it seams to be running fine but it will not import the dhcp-backup.txt file. Any ideas

Is there any error-messages in the Event-log under Applications?

hello mate

looked at the application logs and only events i get for dhcp redundancy are service started and service stopped. I left the machine over night with the sync time set to 1:30am but still no luck. The dhcp-backup file is 128k. Is their a file size limit ?

1. Is there a file named Exporting.txt in the DHCP-Redunancy catalog on the second server?

2. Is the main DHCP-server up and running when the second server tries to import the DHCP-backup file?

3. Does the second DHCP-service start when you start the DHCP-Redundancy-service, even though the main DHCP-service is running?

4. What output do you get when you run this command frpm the second server:
netsh dhcp server 10.1.1.20 show server
Change the IP 10.1.1.20 to the IP of your main server.

hey man, thanks for the advice but it has now started to work. The only change i made today was change one of the .bat entrys. It was missing the machine name

thanks

Fine!

i've modify the bat (replace the %1 to my second dhcp server name)
but nothing is changed.

any ideas?

i have one idea

my first dhcp is not English or Swedish

but my second dhcp, there i've install DHCP-Redundancy service is English

maybe this is the problem ?

What output do you get when you run this command frpm the second server:
netsh dhcp server 10.1.1.20 show server
Change the IP 10.1.1.20 to the IP of your main server.

What language is your main server?

hi, thanks for reply

output:
>netsh dhcp server 192.168.10.2 show server
The current server is 192.168.10.2 with Ip Address = 192.168.10.2

the language of my first dhcp server - russian

i've try to import/export dhcp settings manualy, somthing like this:
on 1st dhcp:
netsh dhcp server export PATH_TO_FILE all
then on second:
netsh dhcp server import PATH_TO_FILE all

and i got an error.


but if i export/import dhcp settings only on 2nd server - i'ts work fine.

Ok, I guess its because you have different languages on the servers.

Can you get the same language on both servers? If you get Russian version on both servers, I have to include it in the redundancy service. If you do this write a note here again.

i think i will do vice-versa ^)
i move all FSMO roles to the second DC (and of corse the global catalog), then manually configure the same dhcp settings, and completly reinstall the 1st DC to English version of windows 2003 R2 SP2

i don't like localization version of windows, they always have some bugs or restrictions.

but it take some time, but then i do all this, i will write here ^)

Good Days

Is there any possibility to work on servers with version in Spanish?
Thanks

Yes, I can update the service that it also supports spanish. Since I dont have any spanish servers, you need to mail me the output from the following commands (run them from cmd):

netsh dhcp server show scope

netsh dhcp server show server

My e-mail is on the download-page.

I followed your installation directions closely. I authorized the dhcp server in DHCP. I ran the netsh dhcp server 192.168.10.2 show server and it equals the ip. I have no errors in event logs under applications or anywhere else. Everything is in english. It just refuses to import the file.....

Can you help?
