I have two domain controllers (dc01 and dc02) dhcp failover is configured as hot spare and has been working well for a long time.The scopes are replicated from dc01 to dc02. If dc01 goes down dc02 takes over.
But, I need to expand a scope. First I need to delete the existing scope since I have to change the subnet mask. When I try to delete I receive the error: Scope is part of a failover relationship. Please delete the scope from the relationship. When I try to deconfigure failover I get the following errors: check status of the failover relationship - failed, the dhcp server service is not running on the target computer, deconfigure failover failed error 1722 the dhcp server service is not running on the target computer.
I've found several posts about running this cmd in powershell: Remove-DhcpServerv4Failover -ComputerName...
