| Two companies sharing the same physical LAN, IP configuration, Windows
2000 servers, two seperate forests, and one DHCP server. In the the
not so distant future they will seperate. In the meantime, is there a
way to point the XP pro clients from CompanyB to a new DHCP server on
the same physical LAN through Group Policy or WMI Scripting?
Thank you,

| Not if they are on the same LAN. Why do you want to do this before the
separation? Maybe there is a workaround for what ever problem you are
having.

| Are you suggesting counseling, Aric? :)
DHCP is based on broadcast. I suppose if you configured your helpers to
point to different subnet segments (assuming the two companies don't
share the same subnet) you might be able to do this.

| Counseling indeed!
I made the assumption when you said the same LAN that both companies
were sharing the same subnet...and you know what they say about
assumptions...
Of course Marcus is right if my assumption is incorrect. :)

Aric

| Your assumptions were correct. Conclusion: wait for physical LAN to seperate.
Thanks for everyone's assistance!
