Of course Scott doesn't believe people like this exist.
No, I believe that they are insanely unlikely and that people lie to themselves (that's you, not him) because it makes you feel better to believe that he's an idiot than that he's a piece of shit. But realistically, the one is essentially impossible, and the other is incredibly likely. I've never said that truly stupid people don't exist, I just keep pointing out that believing that it is the case with any regularity when there is no evidence to support is makes no sense. Nothing here makes him likely to be stupid. He didn't say something dumb, he said something unethical that you can, at a stretch, explain by him being dumb. But he's making good money, so the chances that he's super moronic, yet successful, just isn't likely. But that he's successful and unethical, is extremely likely.
There is endless evidence to support him not being an idiot, or at least a complete one. There is no evidence of him being an idiot, every time something seemingly dumb happens, there is a million times more likely explanation that he is simply self serving and doesn't care about the customer.

having to put in reservations for .255 & .0 ip addresses as windows dhcp issues them when you have a /23 scope. annoying.

Why would you be reserving them? In a /23 scope they are just part of the normal range. You should be using them for something special. Nothing should be annoying in that system.

It can cause confusion for stand in support people seeing .0 and/or .255 IP addresses, it's not usual.
Plus I split the network up, 254 addresses on 1 dhcp server and 254 on another. You can't exclude 0 & 255 from being assigned so I just reserve them so they don't get assigned.

Actually it's 100% usual and if it causes problems for the support people, it means that they are 100% lost on the fundamentals of networking and have memorized incorrect information rather than learning how networking works. This is how all networking and DHCP works, all of the time. There is no system, no IPv4 and no DHCP that doesn't do this. If Windows did it any differently, it would be completely wrong.
If you have support people struggling with this, they are a serious problem and not in a position to be helping resolve network issues (but likely causing them.)

Why do you split up in that way? And how do you know which one is going to hand out the addresses? This sounds like a mess. A single DHCP server can handle so much more than this, even a tiny VM or Raspberry Pi could do DHCP for hundreds of thousands of machines. I'm not even sure how this would work.

grabbing Coffee #2 email purging and Monday team meeting out of the way.
Working on getting my Site out the door. applied for a few positions that I'm "under qualified" for and looking at a few more.
I saw this quote this weekend: "find a job you are under qualified for, then work until you're over qualified. then.. Repeat."
-
Only on coffee one, but because I was in a meeting for the last hour. Almost time for #2.

I thought MS added failover DHPC servers in Server 2016 - so two servers could share a single range without risk of double assigning? Perhaps I misread something.

DHCP failover is a new feature (available in Server 2012 and later versions) for ensuring high availability of DHCP server on an enterprise network. The two servers in a failover relationship share lease information including reservations, scope options, exclusion, policies, and filters
Looks like I was wrong - added in 2012.

You can definitely have two, we do that from time to time.
