Actual exam question from Microsoft's 70-741

Question #: 114
Topic #: 1

You have two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2016. Both servers have the DHCP Server server role installed.
Server1 has a DHCP scope named Scope1. Server2 has a DHCP scope named Scope2.
You need to ensure that client computers can get an IP address if a single DHCP server fails. You must be able to control the percentage of requests to which each DHCP server responds during normal network operations.
What should you do?

A. Add Server1 and Server2 as nodes in a failover cluster, and then configure the DHCP Server server role.
B. Add Server1 and Server2 as nodes in a failover cluster, and then configure the quorum mode.
C. On Server1 and Server2, configure DHCP failover for Scope1 and Scope2.
D. Add Server1 and Server2 as nodes in a failover cluster, and then configure port rules for UDP 67 and UDP 68.

The actual answer is slightly different than we see here. You don't configure the failover on both servers, on server1, using the wizard, configure the failover scope, and add server 2 . during the setup, you can configure the percentage each server will issue addresses for. Although I would select answer C still if I saw these options on the exam.

I think the clue here is that you need to run the Failover Configuration wizard on the server where the scope is configured. Hence you would run it on - Server 1 for Scope 1 - Server 2 for Scope 2

C. On Server1 and Server2, configure DHCP failover for Scope1 and Scope2. Only DHCP Failover technology provides you the ability to control the load-balancing percentage of address leases in a scope for each server. "You must be able to control the percentage of requests to which each DHCP server responds during normal network operations."

A, B, and D seem designed to throw off people coming in fresh from 70-740.

A isn't correct. C is correct. If you use failover cluster for DHCP, you must create a scope on one DHCP server only. https://www.serverlab.ca/tutorials/windows/network-services-windows/step-by-step-dhcp-failover-cluster-ws12r2/
