After installation is completed. We need to complete DHCP configuration.
Configuration will create 2 local groups for DHCP administration. Click Next.
I delegated DHCP Authorization rights to selimatmaca in previous post. Therefore I can use that account.
DHCP Authorization is successful.
We can see our dhcp servers is populated in ADSIEdit or AD Sites and Services in the Netservices
I dont have any DHCP scopes. To configure DHCP failover, I need at least one scope. Let's create it.
Give a descriptive name to your scope
Enter the IP range for this scope
I will not exclude any ip addresses
Default lease duration is just fine for me
I want to configure option now. (Gateway, DNS server etc.)
Enter the Gateway ip address
Enter DNS server ip address
I dont have WINS and I don't need one in my environment
I will activate scopes later
Finish the wizard
In the following post, I will configure DHCP failover.
