`
dhcp server. on the router or on the domain controller`e?
Stands idle in the corner of a server. I'm going to put vin2008 and raise the domain controller.
As far as I understand, a domain controller can also act as a dhcp server. But the network already has a gateway router and it is also a dhcp server.
Question 1: will the dhtsp-server raised on the domain controller be the main one?
Question 2: Do I need to disable dhcp on the router?
Question 3: Can they work together? If so, which one will be the main one, and which one will be the backup
Question 4: Are you interested in the principle of operation of dhtsp in the network in general, and how to administer this whole thing? Also, on what basis will workstations receive addresses on the network from a domain controller if the gateway is a router and not a domain controller?

First you need to read the theory. Two DHCP servers on the same network are possible if properly configured. Those. you need to use different address pools on the servers (for example, on the server 192.168.0.2-192.168.0.128, on the router 192.168.0.129-192.168.0.254). If you are not strong in theory, then I would advise using one server on Windows, and then, for fault tolerance, raise a second server on the router.
According to item 4: the gateway that clients will receive is specified in the settings of the DHCP server itself. Those. from a Windows server, you can give clients any gateway - even yourself, even a router. The same goes for other DHCP servers.
DHCP is better on AD, because you will be able to access computers in the domain by name
on the router, you will have to disable DHCP, tk. they can't balance
on point 1 and 2 and 3 there will be a conflict, you need to select only one

"Question 3: Can they work in pairs? If so, which one will be the main one, and which one will be the backup"
If you do not use legacy software, but consider the option for 2012 R2, then Haighly avaivable Dhcp is available right out of the box primary-backup (Active-Passive) and shared database (Active-Active).
