* [[Configuring the DHCP Server for DLS]]
This section describes how to set up and configure a new Windows  DHCP server in a Windows  Active Directory domain. The Windows DHCP service provides clients with IP addresses and information on the location of the particular standard gatekeeper, the DNS server, and the WINS server.

* [[Troubleshooting]]
 
 
'''Note: We recommend that you use a DHCP server in the DLS environment to support full Plug&Play and ensure the authenticity of the DLS server.
 
 
 
 
 
== Installation ==
 
 
 
You can install DHCP either during or after the original installation of Windows  Server or Advanced Server. However, there must be a functioning DNS server configured in the environment. This allows active DNS forwarding via DHCP.
 
 
 
To check the DNS server, click '''Start''', then click '''Run''', enter cmd, press the <ENTER> key, enter ping [name displayed for the DNS server in your environment] and then press the <ENTER> key. If the query is unsuccessful,
 
the message "Unknown host [DNS server name]" will be displayed.
 
 
 
To install the DHCP service on an existing Windows Server, proceed as follows:
 
 
 
1. In the Windows Start menu, select '''Start''' > '''Settings''' > '''Control Panel'''.
 
 
 
2. Double-click '''Add/Remove Programs''' and then select the option ''''Add/Remove Windows Components'''.
 
 
 
3. In the '''Windows Component Wizard''', click '''Networking Services''' under '''Components''' and then click '''Details'''.
 
 
 
4. Activate the '''DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)''' check box if it is not already activated, and then click '''OK'''.
 
 
 
5. In the '''Windows Component Wizard''', click '''Next''' to start the Windows setup program.
 
 
 
6. Insert the Windows Advanced Server CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive when you are prompted to do so. The setup program copies the data for the DHCP server and the DHCP tool on to your computer.
 
 
 
7. When setup is complete, click '''Finish'''.
