Won't that just delete the scope altogether from server2? 

So My primary server went down recently and I've decided to just start from scratch with it after removing it from AD etc (it was the PDC) I have another server which is now functioning as the PDC and was a DNS/DHCP backup server using DHCP failover on the IPv4 scope. Is there anyway of now converting the failover scope on server2 to be a main scope? I can't go back to server1 to recover or transfer it or anything as the drive has been wiped, is there a way of just telling the DHCP service to turn the failover into a scope and take over?

I ilke trains.
