Overview: Configure DHCP failover using Windows PowerShell

To configure DHCP failover using the command line, use the Add-DhcpServerv4Failover Windows PowerShell cmdlet to create a new DHCP failover relationship and add a DHCP scope, or use the Add-DhcpServerv4FailoverScope cmdlet to add a new scope to an existing failover relationship. An example of the Add-DhcpServerv4Failover cmdlet is provided below.

Add-DhcpServerv4Failover –ComputerName dhcp1.contoso.com –PartnerServer dhcp2.contoso.com –Name dhcp1-dhcp2 –ScopeID 10.10.10.0 –LoadBalancePercent 70 –SharedSecret sEcReT -Force
