Creating a DHCP scope
So far in the new Windows Server 2019 lab environment I have been building, I have been statically assigning IP addresses to all of the servers that are being built. This is starting to get old and is hard to keep track of. When the first domain controller was configured, I installed the DHCP role onto it but haven't told it to start doing anything yet. What does a DHCP server need to start handing out IP addresses? It needs to know what IP addresses, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses are within your network so that it can package that up and start handing the information out to the computers who request it. This package of information inside the DHCP server is called a DHCP scope. Once we define our scope, the DHCP server will start handing out IP addresses from that scope to our new servers and computers that do not already have static addresses defined.
Once again, we need to launch a management tool on our Windows Server...
