We have already discussed how to install windows server 2008 and configuring domain controller with DNS server in windows server 2008.Now we will see how to install and configure DHCP server.
A DHCP Server assigns IP addresses to client computers. This is very often used in enterprise networks to reduce configuration efforts. All IP addresses of all computers are stored in a database that resides on a server machine.
You need to open server manager from Start—>Administrative tools—>Server Manager
Once server manager opens click on Roles from left pane now you need to click on Add Roles from right pane
Now you can see introduction screen click next
Here you need to select the DHCP Server and click next
DHCP Server introduction details click next
First it will try to check your server is having static ip address or not if it detects it will display here and click next
Here you need to enter your domain name and DNS servers click next
If you have WINS server enter details here otherwise select first option click next
Now you need to add DHCP server scope for this you need to click on Add
Enter your scope details and select check box next to Activate this scope option click ok
If you want to enable IPV6 for this server select here otherwise disable IPV6 for your DHCP server and click ok
Select user credentials click next
Confirmation about your selection click on install
DHCP server Installation in progress
Installation Results and click on close
Now you can confirm DHCP server from server manager as follows
Open DHCP server from Start—>Administrative Tools—>DHCP
Create new scope
Right click on IPV4 select New Scope
Create new Reservation
Right Click on Reservation select New reservation
Finally installing DHCP server is very easy compared to win server 2000/2003
