DHCP scopes GONE after updates installed

B

bjriffel

Last night I rebooted a 2003 Ent domain controller that had some
updates applied but needed a restart. Then after it came back up, I
installed the remaining updates that it needed. I thought all was
well. This morning, DHCP isn't working. Turns out that our "backup
scopes" on another server never actually got created. The scopes on
the domain controller that I updates are all gone. DHCP is empty.

I right clicked on the DHCP server and chose to restore a backup
(which I didn't realize we had, a contractor actually built this new
DC for us and set up the DHCP). Magically it restored the DHCP scopes
to our OLD DHCP server, which was still authorized. So at least DHCP
is working again, but it is running on a server that we were planning
to demote and remove from the network.

First question, is it possible that the hotfixes I applied (which I
will list below from the event log) zapped our DHCP server?

Second question, how did our 2003 server restore the DHCP to our 2000
server?

Third question, how is the best way to get our DHCP scopes back over
to the new DC?

Fourth question, can somebody link me to the best practice for having
a backup DHCP server on the same network, that is always online, but
only hands out addresses when the primary isn't working?

Sorry if this is a little confusing, I also lost an Exchange server in
a remote site today so I'm a little flustered!

Thanks
