Question : Scopes with DHCP

Hi everyone. I've just installed DHCP service with Win2000 Server. I created two scopes (e.g. Scope A & Scope B). Normally, these two scopes has different range of IPs. I want to configure the DHCP to assign IPs to group of my users from Scope A & to assign another group of users from Scobe B automatically. How can I do this?

Answer : Scopes with DHCP

Even if you do setup one NIC for one pool and the other NIC for the other pool, you cannot determine who gets an address from which pool as long as both NIC's are plugged into the same broadcast domain. This makes no sense..
Same concept if you have two separate servers one with one range of addresses in it's scope, the other with a different range. Whichever one is least busy (or just faster) at the instant a DHCP request is broadcast will answer.
You can, however, use DHCP to reserve specific addresses for specific MAC addresses. You can gather the MAC addresses of all your systems, then assign them to separate groups/scopes by pre-defined IP address for specified MAC address.
