          DEconfiguring Failover of DHCP failed with error 20116


Hi Guys


Today I am going to tell you if your getting a error when you force removing a DHCP failover from a Partner server or a Primary server and getting the below error.



open the Powershell and run the below command but to run the below command you have to find the Replication name of the failover server for that you can check from the below screenshot.


In the above screenshot the Blue line is the Relationship name in the failover.

So once you got the name run the below command in PowerShell and then you can delete the scope as it will be removed from the failover.

Remove-DhcpServerv4FailoverScope -ComputerName "dhcpserver.contoso.com" -Name "SFO-SIN-Failover" -ScopeId 10.10.10.0,10.20.20.0

In the above command change the computername and the Relationship name and also the scope
once you run this command the scope will be removed from the failover and then delete the scope and
re-create the failover from the primary server.

System Volume Information is taking more space

On one of the servers (running Windows Server 2012 R2) I faced a problem with the lack of free space on a system drive.
