Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a core infrastructure service on any network that provides IP addressing and DNS server
information to PC clients and any other device. DHCP is used so that you do not have to statically assign IP addresses to every device on your
network and manage the issues that static IP addressing can create. More and more, DHCP is being expanded to fit into new network services
like the Windows Health Service and Network Access Protection (NAP)
Installing DHCP Server in Windows Server 2008:
Installing Windows Server 2008 DCHP Server is easy. DHCP Server is now a role of Windows Server 2008 not a windows component as it
was in the past.
To do this, you will need a Windows Server 2008 system already installed and configured with a static IP address. You will need to know your
networks IP address range, the range of IP addresses you will want to hand out to your PC clients, your DNS server IP addresses, and your
default gateway. Additionally, you will want to have a plan for all subnets involved, what scopes you will want to define, and what exclusions
you will want to create.
To start the DHCP installation process, you can click Add Roles from the Initial Configuration Tasks window or from Server Manager
Roles Add Roles.
