On DC-01 and DC-02 I disable the DHCP failover configuration. Next I make a backup of the DHCP configuration on DC-01 and copy the backup file to DC-03. I then restore the backup from DC-01 on DC-03. Then I authorized DC-03 and de-authorized DC-01. I test to verify that DC-03 is now handing out IP addresses, which it is. I change DHCP's DNS option from pointing at DC-01 and DC-02 to pointing to DC-02 and DC-03.

Darn it I have to stop working on this today. It's a bummer that was all the time I had, but I do quickly jot down some of the tasks that I need to complete tomorrow for this project:

  • Configure DHCP failover between DC-03 and DC-02
  • Disable the DNS and DHCP servers on DC-01
  • Disable Active Directory on DC-01
  • Migrate FSMO roles to DC-03
  • Setup a Veeam backup of DC-03
