Technoweed: this dhcp assignment will be use with Citrix dynamically deployed VM on top of VMware ESXi, everytime the new VM is deployed they get new MAC address.

MackWage: the server 2012 R2 is in different VLAN with the VM deployed, however I'm thinking to attach secondary Virtual NIC on that VLAN where the VM resides so that I can bind the dhcp service for the VLAN. Is that also possible ?

If you wish to take advantage of IP pools in VMWare, then here is the link.

What version of VMWare are you using?

The link I provide is for vSphere 5.x.
I'm using vSphere 5.1 update 1 so far, the VCenter server is 5.1 Update 2.
But unfortunately in this case I don't want to deploy the vApp, because the VM is workstation (Windows 7) VM deployed by Ctirix which requires specific IP address from a pool of IP.
I would suggest you add Citrix in the topic search of the question, or request attention so that a mod can add it for you.

The question might be two fold from what I am seeing.

Thanks for the reply Aaron, so in this case the IP subnet itself must be divided into smaller VLAN to achive that ?
