Hey everyone. I'm getting ready to sit this 'mutha and ran across this question which I don't agree with. I was hoping I could get some clarification as to the correct answer.

You use a computer running Windows 2000 Server and the DHCP Server service to create a DHCP scope with a lease length of 33 days. You want to reconfigure the scope now. What steps must you take (choose 3)?

A. Delete the scope
B. Modify the existing scope
C. Pause the scope service
D. Create a new scope
E. Edit the new scope properties

Apparently the correct answers are A, D, and E. The reasoning said that once a scope has been created, its options cannot be changed, such as the lease time. After reading this, I loaded up my DHCP snap-in and sure enough, I was able to change the lease time on my current configuration without deleting the scope. Am I missing something or is the question wrong? The only thing I can come up with is if the question is referring to 'other' options that cannot be altered once a scope is setup and not referring to lease time or other basic configuration settings.

Thanks ahead of time.

"A" "D" & "E" are the answers.
This looks like one of those braindumps.
Because I did see it on the exam.

Hopefully this can help you to better understand...

First off, the question didn't come from a braindump. Unless of course examnotes.com's practice tests are braindumps.
Secondly, I read through the link you listed cris and all it really did was reinforce my stand on the question. Quoting from the link:

You can modify an existing scope by doing the following:

1. Start the DHCP Manager and then double-click on the entry for the DHCP server you want to configure. This should display the currently configured scopes for the server.

2. Select the scope you want to modify and then choose Properties from the Scope menu. This opens a dialog box similar to the Create Scope dialog box shown in Figure 14-3.

3. Modify the scope as necessary and then close the Scope Properties dialog box by clicking OK. The changes are saved in the DHCP Manager.

It doesn't say anything about having to delete the scope or create a new scope. Believe me, I know that there are some of those "questionable" answers that are listed as correct answers, and the official M$ answer may in fact be A, D, and E. But I would like verification that these are correct.

I think the question is not too clear. It says that you want to reconfigure the scope. But what do you want to change? Lease length? Subnet mask? Exclusion range? Reservation? Starting and Ending IP addresses?

A & D will work, but E works also. So both methods will work. Gee, sort of reminds me of "to be or not to be, that is the question," and I think the question, in this case, stinks!

I believe the dilemma is between 2 possible answers:
A&D&E
or
B only
If Microsoft says A&D&E then go for it!

Sorry, I thought I read that the Microsoft link proposed deleting the scope. I'd go with "B".
