In-Depth Information
At start time, each DHCP server queries the directory, looking for its IP address on
the “authorized” list. If it can't find the list or if it can't find its IP address on the list, the
DHCP service fails to start. Instead, it adds a message to the event log, indicating that it
couldn't service client requests because the server wasn't authorized.
Exercise 2.8 and Exercise 2.9 show you how to authorize and unauthorize a DHCP
server onto a network with Active Directory. If you installed DHCP onto a network with
a domain, you can complete the following two exercises, but if you are still on a member
server, you cannot do these exercises. These are here to show you how to do it after you
have Active Directory on your network.
