Configure DHCP Scopes for the DHCP Server Role

Using this option, configure the DHCP scopes that contain the rules and active scopes used on the DHCP server. For more information about DHCP scope configuration options and for guidance on using each configuration option, see Chapter 6 - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol in TCP/IP Fundamentals for Microsoft Windows.

To configure and deploy DHCP scopes

1. Edit task_sequence_name (where task_sequence_name is the name of the task sequence to which you want to add the task sequence step) for:

· LTI as described in Configure the Task Sequence Properties Task Sequence Tab

· ZTI using Configuration Manager 2012 as described in Configuring ZTI Task Sequence Steps in Configuration Manager 2012

· ZTI using Configuration Manager 2007 R3 as described in Configuring ZTI Task Sequence Steps in Configuration Manager 2007 R3

2. Modify the task sequence step you created based on the Configure DHCP task sequence type for:

· LTI on the Task Sequence tab (In the task sequence hierarchy, click task_sequence_step [where task_sequence_step is the name of the task sequence step].)

· ZTI in the task sequence hierarchy (Click task_sequence_step [where task_sequence_step is the name of the task sequence step].)

3. On the Properties tab, click the yellow Add scope button.

4. In the Scope Properties dialog box, configure the following options as required for the environment:

· Scope name. The name used to refer to the scope.

· Start IP address. The beginning address of the scope (for example, 192.168.0.150).

· End IP address. The ending address of the scope (for example, 192.168.0.250).

· Subnet mask. The mask used for the IP address scope (for example, 255.255.255.0).

· Scope IP address. The address of the scope itself (for example, 192.168.0.1).

· Lease duration for DHCP clients. The maximum time a client can keep the IP address that the DHCP server assigns.

· Description. A description of the scope (for administrative reference).

5. On the Advanced tab, in the Exclude IP Address Range section, type the following information to exclude addresses for the scope created on the General tab:

· Start IP address. The beginning address for exclusion from a scope (for example, 192.168.0.251).

· End IP address. The ending address for exclusion from a scope (for example, 192.168.0.255).

6. On the Options tab, configure the following options for the scope created on the General tab:

· 003 Router. The default gateway given to DHCP clients.

· 006 DNS Servers. The DNS server address given to DHCP clients.

· 015 DNS Domain Name. The DNS domain name given to clients (for example, woodgove.com).

· 044 WINS/NBNS Servers. The WINS server IP address (for example, 192.168.0.2).

· 046 WINS/NBT Node Type. The WINS node type.

· 060 PXE Client. The address used for PXE client Bootstrap code.

7. Click OK.
