I'm working for a client who is extremely slow to upgrade and doesn't spend much money. As a result, I'm trying to keep their ancient Windows Server 2008 machines going, despite seriously needing to upgrade.

For the time being, they want to replace their very old gateway device with something that can support the upgraded internet connection they're looking to get. The existing device is 100Mbps for WAN and LAN so I'm looking to replace it with gigabit everything for the new 200Mbps connection.

I'm fond of Unifi devices and would love to use a UDM Pro for this, and I'm wondering if it's crazy to cede control of DHCP to the UDM instead of the Server. The DHCP UI for Windows Server is awful. I hate it. I'd love to use the much friendlier Unifi interface instead. Would this be a bad idea?
