Hello,

I hope somebody can give me a way to solve it...

We have two Windows Server 2016, each server are DC and have same DHCP scope.

First server : AD, DNS, DHCP (option 66 and 67)
Second sever : AD, DNS, DHCP (option 60, 66 and 67)

I just install WDS service on "backup" server, adding options 60, 66 and 67 but not working.
If I shut down DHCP service on the first DC, everything is working well, if I start DHCP service, everything is down...
If I add option 60 on the first server, I have a DHCP timeout, if I delete option 60 from the first server, I have a PXEerror violation.

My only way to let it work is to shutdown DHCP on the first server but I really want to keep it working.

Thank you

    Hello,
    I've seen this thread but in my case, there is only one network.

    Nevermind, I've "solved" it deleting options 66 and 67 from first DHCP server...

    Thank you
