In this article, we will be explaining the DHCP Failover configuration on Windows Server 2019. Included with Windows Server 2012 DHCP Server Failover feature allows the DHCP Server to operate uninterruptedly in our environment. Due to its role, DHCP Server is one of the critical server roles in the Network structure. For this reason, if the DHCP Server role in the environment is disabled in any way or cannot serve, the communication of all our devices in our Network structure will be adversely affected because the TCP / IP configuration is not distributed to our Clients, Mobile devices or Network devices in the Network structure. Against such a risk, it is a new feature that comes with Windows Server 2012. DHCP Server Failover With this configuration, we can prevent these problems from occurring.
DHCP Server Failover can work in two ways due to its structure. First DHCP Server and Second DHCP Server load balance ( Load Balancing ) with Active-Active or second DHCP Server completely hot standby We can configure it as Active-Passive by keeping it in reserve.
Before proceeding with the Installation and Configuration, I would like to give a brief information about our environment.
My First Server has Windows Server 2019 Datacenter operating system W19PDC and the IP Address is configured as 192.168.1.200/24. By configuring Active Directory Domain Services on it bakicubuk.local It acts as the Primary Domain Controller in our environment by establishing an Active Directory Domain environment called. In addition, this server will serve as the First DHCP Server in our environment.
My Second Server has Windows Server 2019 Datacenter operating system W19ADC and the IP Address is configured as 192.168.1.202/24. By configuring Active Directory Domain Services on it Additional Domain Controller works in our structure. This server will act as the Second DHCP Server.

Create a new failover relationship This is the screen where we will make the necessary configurations so that the DHCP Server Failover does not configure.
Relationship name: The descriptive name given to the DHCP Failover Cluster we are configuring.
Maximum client lead time (MCLT): In addition to the lease period of a DHCP client, the defined period is determined. In this case, if the lease time is set for example 8 hours on DHCP, and the Maximum client lead time (MCLT) value is 1 hour, the lease duration will be 9 hours in total. This Maximum client lead time ( MCLT ) value is sent to the second server and added to the lease periods. Normally, according to RFC 2131 standards, in the DHCP Failover configuration, the lease records must be saved on both DHCP servers in order for the main DHCP server to approve the IP Address it has leased to a client with a DHCPACK message. Since such an operation will slow down the DHCP performance, the primary DHCP server gives the client its IP Address and confirms it with DHCPACK, and then sends this change to the second DHCP server, which is the replication partner, with a replication update packet. If the communication between the primary DHCP server and the second server, which is a Failover Partner, is lost, then the Maximum client lead time ( MCLT ) specified here is added to the end of the lease.

- Load Balance Mod: Allows to configure two DHCP servers in load sharing mode. DHCP servers work with each other as Active-Active. Load Balance Percentage s local server ve ParentServer In the sections, the address distribution percentage of DHCP servers, or in other words, the percentage of load falling on the server is determined.
- Hot Standby Mode: It is the configuration mode in which one of the DHCP servers provides active service and the second server waits as a backup in passive mode. DHCP servers work as Active-Passive.
State Switchover Interval: It is the part where the time interval is determined when the DHCP server transmits its status down to the other server when the network connection is disconnected. If it is not checked, this notification must be made manually by the administrator with the DHCP Server console or PowerShell.
Enable Message Authentication: Used to verify inter-server DHCP Failover replication.
Shared Secret: DHCP Failover connection between servers allows replication to be done with the password written here.
Distribution Topology : 2 servers can be used in DHCP Failover structure and it can only be used for IPv4 domains. Servers can be located on the same or different network. DHCP servers are set up in Production and Disaster Recovery locations and the Production location is configured as Active and the Disaster Recovery location as Hot Standby. The IP Address distribution made on the Production will be automatically transferred to the server in Disaster Recovery location with the network interruption on the server in this location.

To configure a failover relationship
- In DHCP2, open the DHCP console, right-click the DHCP scope Contoso-scope1, and then click Configure failover.
- In the Configure Failover wizard, click Next.
- In Specify the partner server to use for failover, type the dhcp1.contoso.com next to Partner Server, and then click Next.
- In Create a new failover relationship, type a name next to Relationship Name, or accept the default name displayed (dhcp2.contoso.com-dhcp1.contoso.com).
- Next to Shared Secret (e.g., secret), type a shared secret for this failover relationship.
- Change the value next to Maximum Client Delivery Time to 0 hours and 1 minute.Important Maximum Client Lead Time (MCLT) is the grace period provided to a DHCP client after the expiration of a DHCP lease. The MCLT is transmitted from the primary server to the secondary server in the CONNECT message and is the longest period of time a server can extend the lease agreement for a client beyond the time known to the partner server. The 1-minute MCLT value used here is for test lab purposes only to request lease renewal by the client. In a production environment, you must use a longer MCLT, such as 1 hour.
- Review the options in the drop-down menu next to Mode. You can select either Load balance or Active standby. By default, Load balance mode is selected.
- Click Next, and then click Finish.
- Verify that the failover configuration was successful, and then click Close.
- In DHCP1, refresh the DHCP console, and verify that the same DHCP scope configuration that was available in DHCP2 is now available in DHCP1.
View or edit the properties of a failover configuration
After you configure a failover relationship on the DHCP server, the details of the failover relationship are displayed in the DHCP console.
To view or edit the properties of a failover relationship
- In DHCP1 or DHCP2, in the DHCP console, right-click the DHCP scope Contoso-scope1, and then click Properties.
- Click the Failover tab, and then review the information that is displayed. Verify that Normal is displayed next to This Server Status and also next to Partner ServerStatus.
- Note that you can edit or delete the failover relationship.
- Click Edit and review the editable properties of the failover relationship.
- Leave the dialog box open for the following procedure.
Edit properties of the failover relationship and demonstrate load balancing
To demonstrate dynamic load balancing properties of the failover relationship, the load balancing percentage will be changed for an active DHCP scope.
To edit properties of the failover relationship and demonstrate load balancing
- On Client1, click Windows PowerShell and type the following command. Copy
ipconfig /all
- In the command output, note the DHCP server that is providing IP address configuration to Client1. The IP address of the DHCP server is displayed next to DHCP Server.
- In the View/Edit DHCP1 or DHCP2 Failover Relationship dialog box that opens in the previous procedure, change the values under Load Balanced Mode next to Local Server and Partner Server so that 100% of them are assigned to the DHCP server that does not provide an IP address to Client1. The value of the server that is providing the IP address to Client1 will be 0%.
- Click OK twice, wait until the current DHCP lease expires on Client1, and then type ipconfig /all at the Windows PowerShell prompt.
- Note that the DHCP server that provides IP address configuration to Client1 changes to the server to which you assign 100% weight in load-balancing mode.
Edit the properties of a failover relationship and show hot standby mode
To show hot standby mode, the DHCP Server service on one of the failover partners is stopped.
To edit the properties of a failover relationship and show hot standby mode
- In DHCP1 or DHCP2, in the DHCP console, right-click the DHCP scope Contoso-scope1, and then click Properties.
- Click the Failover tab.
- Click Edit, and then select Hot Standby Mode.
- Depending on the DHCP server that you configure, the local server is assigned an Active or Pending status. The status is displayed next to Role of this server.TipThe server that is actively assigned in hot standby mode is the server that you used to create the failover relationship.
- Click OK two times, and then wait 2 minutes for the DHCP lease on Client1 to renew.
- On Client1, type ipconfig /all at the Windows PowerShell prompt and verify that the server assigned as Active provides Client1 with a configuration of IP addresses.
- In the DHCP console on the DHCP server, which is marked as Active for the hot standby failover relationship and is providing an IP address to Client1, right-click the server name, point to All Tasks, and then click Stop.
- Verify that the DHCP service is stopped on the active DHCP server.
- Wait for the DHCP lease to be renewed on Client1, type ipconfig /all at the Windows PowerShell prompt, and verify that the standby DHCP server has provided Client1 with an IP address.
The end
DHCP failover, clustering, or a split scope provides high availability of DHCP services without the hassles of DHCP. The benefits of DHCP failover include the following:
- Simple: A wizard is provided to create DHCP failover relationships between DHCP servers. The wizard automatically replicates scopes and settings from the primary server to the failover partner.
- Flexible: DHCP failover can also be configured for load balancing with client requests that are distributed between both DHCP servers in a failover relationship, depending on the values you choose.
- Hassle-free: DHCP servers share lease information and allow one server to assume responsibility for servicing clients if the other server is unavailable. DHCP clients can maintain the same IP address when the lease is renewed, even if the lease agreement is issued by a different DHCP server.

Windows Server 2019 is the latest version of Microsoft’s server operating system. It includes a number of features and improvements that make it an ideal choice for businesses of all sizes. One of the most important features of Windows Server 2019 is its DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. DHCP is used to assign IP addresses to devices on a network, and it is essential for ensuring that all devices can communicate with each other.
In this article, we will discuss 10 best practices for setting up and managing a DHCP server on Windows Server 2019. By following these best practices, you can ensure that your network is secure and reliable.
1. Use DHCP Failover
DHCP Failover allows you to have two DHCP servers running in an active/passive configuration. This means that if one of the servers fails, the other will take over and provide IP addresses to clients without interruption.
This is especially important for larger networks where a single server may not be able to handle all of the requests from clients. By having two servers configured with DHCP Failover, you can ensure that your network stays up and running even if one of the servers goes down.
2. Enable DNS Registration for DHCP Clients
When a DHCP client is assigned an IP address, it needs to register its hostname and IP address with the DNS server. This allows other computers on the network to locate the computer by name instead of having to remember its IP address. Without this registration, users would have to manually enter the IP address each time they wanted to access the computer.
Enabling DNS registration for DHCP clients ensures that all computers on the network are properly registered in the DNS database. This makes it easier for users to find and connect to the computers they need.
3. Configure a DHCP Name Protection Policy
DHCP Name Protection Policy helps to protect against malicious users who may try to register a computer name that is already in use on the network. This policy ensures that only authorized computers can register their names with the DHCP server, and it also prevents unauthorized computers from registering duplicate names.
By configuring this policy, you can help ensure that your network remains secure and free of any potential conflicts caused by duplicate computer names. Additionally, it will make troubleshooting easier since you’ll be able to quickly identify which computer is causing an issue.
4. Set the DHCP Server to Register with DNS

5. Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on the DHCP Server and Client
NetBIOS over TCP/IP is an older protocol that was used to provide name resolution services in Windows networks. It has since been replaced by DNS, and it can cause conflicts with DHCP if both are enabled on the same network.
By disabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP on the DHCP Server and Client, you can ensure that there will be no conflicts between the two protocols. This will also help improve performance of your network as well as reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities.
6. Enable DHCP Audit Logging
DHCP audit logging allows you to track changes made to the DHCP server, such as when a new IP address is assigned or an existing one is released. This helps ensure that your network remains secure and compliant with industry standards.
To enable DHCP audit logging in Windows Server 2019, open the DHCP console, right-click on the server name, select Properties, then click the Advanced tab. Under Logging, check the box next to Enable DHCP Audit Logging. You can also specify the log file location and size here. Once enabled, all DHCP events will be logged in the specified log file.
7. Monitor the DHCP Database Size
The DHCP database stores all of the information about leases, reservations, and other settings. As more clients connect to the network, the size of the database increases.
If the database gets too large, it can cause performance issues with the server. To prevent this from happening, you should regularly monitor the size of the database and take action if it starts to get too big. This could include deleting old leases or reservations that are no longer needed, or increasing the size of the database.
8. Perform Regular Backups of the DHCP Database
The DHCP database contains all of the information about your network’s IP addresses, including which ones are in use and which ones are available. If something were to happen to this data, it could cause serious problems for your network.
By performing regular backups of the DHCP database, you can ensure that if anything does go wrong, you have a recent copy of the data that you can restore from. This will help minimize any downtime or disruption caused by an issue with the DHCP server. Additionally, it’s important to store these backups offsite so they’re not vulnerable to the same risks as the original data.
9. Limit DHCP Lease Duration
null
10. Manage Scope Options
Scope options are settings that can be configured to control how DHCP clients interact with the network. These include things like DNS server addresses, default gateway IPs, and other important parameters.
By managing scope options, you can ensure that all of your DHCP clients have the same configuration settings, which helps reduce errors and improves performance. Additionally, it’s a good idea to regularly review these settings to make sure they’re up-to-date and still relevant for your environment.
В современном информационном мире надежность сети играет огромную роль. Особенно в организациях, где доступ к интернету и локальным ресурсам важен для успешной работы. Одним из основных элементов сетевой инфраструктуры является DHCP-сервер, который отвечает за автоматическое распределение IP-адресов устройствам в сети. Однако, если DHCP-сервер выходит из строя или перестает функционировать, то сеть может оказаться недоступной для пользователей.
В подобных ситуациях приходят на помощь технологии failover, позволяющие настроить резервные DHCP-серверы, которые будут автоматически вступать в работу, если основной сервер выходит из строя. Одной из лучших платформ для настройки такой конфигурации является Windows Server 2019, предлагающая простое и удобное решение для обеспечения надежности сети.
Настройка failover DHCP-server в Windows Server 2019 — это процесс, который включает несколько шагов: установку и настройку роли DHCP, создание резервной пары DHCP-серверов, настройку параметров failover и тестирование работоспособности системы. Данный процесс не требует особых знаний и может быть выполнен даже пользователями без опыта работы с Windows Server. В результате правильно настроенной failover-конфигурации вы получите надежную защиту от отказа работы DHCP-сервера и обеспечите бесперебойное функционирование сети.

Настройка dhcp failover windows server 2019
DHCP failover – это механизм, который позволяет создать группу из двух DHCP серверов, которые работают в режиме кооперации. В случае выхода из строя одного из серверов, второй сервер автоматически продолжает выдавать IP адреса устройствам в сети. Таким образом, обеспечивается непрерывность работы сети и предотвращается ее простой.
Настройка DHCP failover на Windows Server 2019 – простое и эффективное решение для обеспечения надежности сети. Для этого выполните следующие шаги:
- Установите роль DHCP на два сервера Windows Server 2019, которые будут работать в режиме failover.
- Настройте каждый из серверов на использование режима failover. Для этого откройте DHCP MMC на каждом сервере, выберите свой DHCP сервер, щелкните правой кнопкой мыши на сервере и выберите ‘Configure Failover’.
- В окне настройки failover введите имя партнера failover (другого DHCP сервера), выберите режим совместной работы (hot standby или load balance) и настройте параметры связи (режим связи, IP-адрес партнера, ключ аутентификации).
- После завершения настройки failover на обоих серверах, сохраните изменения и перезапустите DHCP службу.
После настройки DHCP failover, ваша сеть будет обладать высокой доступностью и надежностью. В случае сбоя одного из DHCP серверов, другой сервер автоматически возьмет на себя его функции и продолжит выдавать IP адреса устройствам в сети. Таким образом, снижается вероятность простоя и недоступности сети, что положительно сказывается на бизнес-процессах и работе организации в целом.
Простое решение
Настройка dhcp failover на Windows Server 2019 предоставляет простое и эффективное решение для обеспечения надежности сети. С помощью этой функции вы можете настроить резервную DHCP-службу, которая автоматически возьмет на себя работу в случае отказа основной службы.
Весь процесс настройки может быть выполнен с использованием графического интерфейса сервера DHCP. Для начала необходимо установить DHCP-службу на оба сервера, которые вы хотите использовать для failover.
После установки и настройки основного DHCP-сервера вы можете приступить к настройке failover. Перейдите в свойства основного сервера, затем на вкладку «Failover». Нажмите кнопку «Configure Failover» и следуйте инструкциям мастера настройки.
Во время настройки вы должны указать имя резервного сервера, а также тип и лимит ролей, которые будет иметь резервный сервер. Вы можете выбрать режим «Hot Standby» или «Load Balance».
В режиме «Hot Standby» резервный сервер будет ожидать отказа основного сервера и автоматически брать на себя работу. В режиме «Load Balance» резервный сервер будет использоваться вместе с основным сервером для равномерного распределения нагрузки.
После настройки и активации failover вы можете быть уверены в надежности вашей сети. В случае отказа основного сервера, резервный сервер автоматически продолжит выдачу IP-адресов и других настроек.
Настройка dhcp failover на Windows Server 2019 предоставляет простое и надежное решение для обеспечения непрерывной работы сети. Это особенно важно для организаций, которые зависят от стабильной и надежной работы DHCP-сервера.
Обеспечение надежности сети
DHCP failover представляет собой механизм, который позволяет создавать резервные копии DHCP-серверов и автоматически обеспечивать бесперебойную работу сети при отказе одного из серверов. Это особенно важно для организаций, где недоступность сети может привести к серьезным финансовым и управленческим потерям.
Настройка DHCP failover в Windows Server 2019 сводится к установке и настройке роли DHCP на двух серверах, а затем настройке связи между ними. При этом серверы создают своеобразный кластер, где один сервер является активным, а второй – пассивным.
В случае отказа активного сервера, пассивный сервер автоматически принимает его функции, и сеть продолжает работать без проблем. Причем, после восстановления активного сервера, он автоматически синхронизирует свою конфигурацию с пассивным сервером, обеспечивая согласованность в работе DHCP-службы.
