Setting UP DHCP

Question

_{Friday, January 8, 2016 7:01 PM}

Now i am trying to configure DHCP.

Have tried to configure the scope. I have a Red down arrow on the IPv4. When i try to Restart i get a message:

The dhcp server you specified cannot be located. The dhcp server might
be down, there might be network problems, or the dhcp service might not
be installed.

The error was: The dhcp server is not running on the target computer.

I do see DHCP running in the services and processes?

Thanks for the help.

Hi

 In order to make DHCP server work with your Active Directory it should be authorized in AD? Is it authorized? If not it will not start no matter whatever you do. Also if it is authorized, make sure that the DHCP Server Service is started.

Run "Netsh dhcp show server " if it is on list,OK,but if it isn't,

run "netsh dhcp add server dhcpsrv1.example.microsoft.com 10.2.2.2" then restart service and check again..

Hi Ogeccut,

In additional to Burak, if you find you didn't authorize DHCP server in AD, you may use the following method to authorize the DHCP server:
