Verify that each branch office has an operational and properly
configured network gateway (router) and that there is network
connectivity between the branch office and the regional office in
which the DHCP server resides.
Adding a DHCP
Server Role
If your Windows 2003 server is not yet configured for DHCP, you must
add the DHCP server role:
1 Click Start > Manage Your Server.
2 Click Add or remove a role.
3 The Configure Your Server Wizard window opens.
4 Click Next.
5 From the list of roles, select DHCP server.
6 Click Next.
7 Click Next again.
8 When the New Scope Wizard window appears, click Cancel.
The server configuration wizard assumes that you will immediately create
the first DHCP scope. In this procedure, scopes will be created later.
9 When the Cannot Complete message appears, click Finish.
Creating Server-Wide
DHCP Options
You can create DHCP options at the server-wide level. You can also
choose to configure them or not configure them at that level.
Options 60, 120 and 184
Three DHCP options (60, 120 and 184) are not pre-defined on a
Windows 2003 server. You must create them.
When you create, but do not configure these options at the server-wide
level, you make them available in the list of DHCP options. Later, you can
configure these options within each of the scopes that you create.
CAUTION: Do not configure options 120 and 184 when you create
them. If you configure these options at the server-wide level, the
configuration parameters will be applied to all scopes. The configuration
of these options must be done for each individual scope.
