Use the following procedures to replicate DHCP settings using Windows PowerShell. When you have completed the procedures in this topic, return to the parent checklist: Checklist: Deploy DHCP Failover.

Replication is the process of copying settings from one or more failover-enabled DHCP scopes to on a DHCP server to the server’s failover partner.

Important

Replication can be initiated from either DHCP server in a failover relationship. Settings on the failover partner server will be overwritten with the settings that are configured on the server where replication is initiated. Therefore, it is important to always ensure replication is initiated on the server that is configured with the settings you wish to use.

This topic provides steps to replicate scope settings using the command line. For steps to replicate scope settings using the DHCP console, see Replicate DHCP Failover Using the DHCP Console.

Three types of replication are available:

Server replication: This type of replication copies the configuration of all failover-enabled scopes on the local server to its failover partner servers.
Relationship replication: This type of replication copies the configuration of all DHCP scopes that are part of a selected failover relationship to the failover partner server.
Scope replication: This type of replication copies the configuration of a selected DHCP scope to the failover partner server.

Choose one of the following procedures based on the type of replication you wish to perform:

Replicate failover settings at the server level using the command line

Membership in the Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete these procedures. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).

To replicate failover settings at the server level using the command line

On a computer with the Windows PowerShell DHCP Server module installed, right-click Windows PowerShell and then click Run as Administrator.
Type the following at the command line, and then press ENTER. Replace the example values with values used in your environment.
```
Invoke-DhcpServerv4FailoverReplication –ComputerName dhcp1.contoso.com -Force
```
Verify that the scope IDs are listed in the command output for all failover enabled scopes on the DHCP server.

In this example, the primary DHCP server is named dhcp1.contoso.com. If the ComputerName parameter is not specified, the command is run on the local server.

Tip

Windows PowerShell DHCP Server module can be installed using the Add Roles and Features Wizard under Features\Remote Server Administration Tools\Role Administration Tools\DHCP Server Tools. The DHCP Server module is also installed by default when you install the DHCP Server role service.

Replicate failover settings at the relationship level using the command line

To replicate failover settings at the relationship level using the command line

On a computer with the Windows PowerShell DHCP Server module installed, right-click Windows PowerShell and then click Run as Administrator.
Type the following at the command line, and then press ENTER. Replace the example values with values used in your environment.
```
Invoke-DhcpServerv4FailoverReplication –ComputerName dhcp1.contoso.com –Name dhcp1-dhcp2 -Force
```
Verify that the scope IDs are listed in the command output for all failover enabled scopes that are configured to use the specified failover relationship.

In this example, the primary DHCP server is named dhcp1.contoso.com and the failover relationship name is dhcp1-dhcp2. If the ComputerName parameter is not specified, the command is run on the local server.

Replicate failover settings at the scope level using the command line

To replicate failover settings at the scope level using the command line

On a computer with the Windows PowerShell DHCP Server module installed, right-click Windows PowerShell and then click Run as Administrator.
Type the following at the command line, and then press ENTER. Replace the example values with values used in your environment.
```
Invoke-DhcpServerv4FailoverReplication –ComputerName dhcp1.contoso.com –ScopeID 10.0.10.0,10.0.20.0 -Force
```
Verify that the scope IDs are listed in the command output for all scopes that were specified on the command line.

In this example, the primary DHCP server is named dhcp1.contoso.com, and the DHCP scope IDs specified are 10.0.10.0 and 10.0.20.0. If the ComputerName parameter is not specified, the command is run on the local server.
