The TCP/IP protocol is an Active Directory operational requirement. This means that all computers on a Windows 2000 network require a unique IP address to communicate with the Active Directory. Static IP addresses can add a lot of administrative overhead. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can be implemented to centralize the administration of IP addresses. Through DHCP, many of the tasks associated with IP addressing can be automated. This paper will explain how to implement a DHCP server, including the installation process, authorization of the server, and the configuration of DHCP scopes.
