Installing Windows Server 2008 DHCP

To install DHCP Server in Windows Server 2008, you add the DHCP Server role via the Add Roles Wizard in Server Manager. You need to have a static IP address configured on the server beforehand. The installation process then prompts you to configure basic network settings like IP ranges, DNS servers, and DHCP scopes. You have the option to fully configure DHCP during installation or complete the installation without configurations and configure it later.

Installing Windows Server 2008 DCHP Server is easy.

DHCP Server is
now a “role” of Windows Server 2008 – not a windows component as it
was in the past.
To do this, you will need a Windows Server 2008 system already installed
and configured with a static IP address. You will need to know your
network’s IP address range, the range of IP addresses you will want to
hand out to your PC clients, your DNS server IP addresses, and your
default gateway. Additionally, you will want to have a plan for all subnets
involved, what scopes you will want to define, and what exclusions you
will want to create.
To start the DHCP installation process, you can click Add Roles from
the Initial Configuration Tasks window or from Server Manager
/ Roles / Add Roles.

When the Add Roles Wizard comes up, you can click Next on that screen.
Next, select that you want to add the DHCP Server Role, and click Next.

If you do not have a static IP address assigned on your server, you will get
a warning that you should not install DHCP with a dynamic IP address.
At this point, you will begin being prompted for IP network information,
scope information, and DNS information. If you only want to install
DHCP server with no configured scopes or settings, you can just
click Next through these questions and proceed with the installation.
On the other hand, you can optionally configure your DHCP Server during
this part of the installation.
In my case, I chose to take this opportunity to configure some basic IP
settings and configure my first DHCP Scope.
I was shown my network connection binding and asked to verify it, like
