Install DHCP Server

Installing the DHCP Service:

You can install DHCP either during or after the initial installation of Windows
2000 Server or Advanced Server, although there must be a working DNS in the
environment. To validate your DNS server, click Start, click
Run, type cmd, press ENTER, type
ping friendly name of an existing DNS server in your
environment, and then press ENTER. An unsuccessful reply generates
an "Unknown Host My DNS server name" message.

To install the DHCP Service on an existing Windows 2003 Server:

1. Click Start, click Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs, and then click
Add/Remove Windows Components.
3. In the Windows Component Wizard, click Networking
Services in the Components box, and then click
Details.
4. Click to select the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
check box if it is not already selected, and then click OK.
5. In the Windows Components Wizard, click Next
to start Windows 2003 Setup. Insert the Windows 2003 Server CD-ROM into the
CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so. Setup copies the DHCP server and tool
files to your computer.
6. When Setup is complete, click Finish.
