The
DHCP Client
system service manages network configuration by registering and updating IP
addresses and updating Dynamic Domain Naming Service (DDNS) entries for the computer with DNS
servers. Administrators do not have to manually change the IP settings when a client, such as a
roaming user, wanders throughout the network. The client is automatically given a new IP address
regardless of the subnet it reconnects to as long as a DHCP server is accessible from each of those
subnets. To ensure greater security in the three environments defined in this guide, configure this
setting to
Automatic.
If this service is stopped, the computer will not receive dynamic IP addresses and
DNS updates. Also be aware that disabling the DHCP Client will prevent servers from registering in
DNS through DDNS.

The
Distributed File System
(DFS) service manages logical volumes distributed across a local or wide
area network. DFS is a distributed service that integrates disparate file shares into a single logical
namespace. DFS is not needed on member servers in the three environments defined in this guide.
However, this setting is required and is set to
Automatic
for the domain controllers in all three
environments.

Important: Distributed Link Tracking Client
must be set to

for all HP NAS server systems.
The
Distributed Link Tracking Client
system service maintains links between the NTFS files within the
computer or across computers in the network domain. The Distributed Link Tracking (DLT) Client
service ensures that shortcuts and Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) links continue to work after
the target file is renamed or moved. To ensure greater security in the three environments defined in
this guide, disable the
Distributed Link Tracking Client
service. If this service is stopped, the links on
the computer will not be maintained or tracked.
