You need to provide high availability for Scope1

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain
contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2 and has the DHCP
Server server role installed. Server1 has an IPv6 scope named Scope1.
You implement an additional DHCP server named Server2 that runs Windows Server 2012
R2.
You need to provide high availability for Scope1. The solution must minimize administrative
effort.
What should you do?

What should you do?

A.
Install and configure Network Load Balancing (NLB) on Server1 and Server2.

B.
Create a scope on Server2.

C.
Configure DHCP failover on Server1.

D.

Configure DHCP failover on the server that created the scope. In this case Server1 created
Scope1 therefore DHCP Failover should be configured on Server1

Hi,

It is not necessary to configure a DHCP scope on DHCP2. A DHCP scope will be configured automatically when a failover relationship is created with DHCP1.
