Two Questions about Remote Site HUB and DHCP

First Quesion:

Is their a way to specify which server will act as the HUB?

Site MtPleasant
Site Lansing
Site Southfield

Created Site Links
MtPleasant & Lansing
MtPleasant & Southfield
Southfield & Lansing

Created Site Link Bridge
Added all three of the above sites

The system automatically generated all of the sites links but did not create
a link from MtPleasant to Southfield directly. The replication looks like
it goes via Lansing because Lansing has MtPleasant and Southfield listed and
replication does work, ie change in MtPleasant shows up in Southfield after
1/2 hour. I have replication set for every 15 mintues so it replicates to
Lansing then Lansing replicates with Southfield.

Second Question:

If I set Show Service Nodes in AD Sites and Services, under the NetServices,
I am showing an old DHCP server name and the new DHCP server name is not
showing. The new DHCP server is working but I have having issues with WINS
replication and I am wondering if this might be the cause. Wins does
replicate some how maybe via the Lansing location. My question is the
following. Should I delete the bad server name and then add the correct
one?

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Hello Sam

For question nr one, you may should have a look at Bridgehead Servers:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;271997

I recommend you to use command utility netsh with the dhcp context

netsh dhcp help - display help information
netsh dhcp add server - add dhcp server
netsh dhcp delete server - delete dhcp server, in your case the old one.
netsh dhcp show server - show all current dhcp servers

(and yes absolute remove the old server if its not available longer, and
ensure the new one is listed)
