DHCP relay on Sonicwall

We have used DHCP service on Sonicwall to lease IP addresses to a LAN and wifi subnet.

Recently, we have setup a Window DHCP services. How can I configure the Sonicwall such that it will use the Window DHCP for both LAN and Wifi subnet ? Any example for reference.

Thx

Configure the scope for each subnet on the DHCP server then configure the SonicWall with a DHCP relay IP on the Wifi interface to point to the DHCP server.

Disable the SonicWall DHCP server and you should be good.
You need to set SonicWALL LAN and WAN in Layer-2 Bridged mode.

In the sonicwall it's under ip helper. Here is a write up direct from dell (sonicwall) https://support.software.dell.com/kb/sw3793
Layer-2 bridged mode? No that's just wrong.

Indeed you need to create IP Helper policies.
Go to Network>IP helper
Enable IP Helper
Enable DHCP protocol
add a policy with src = the subnet or interface
and destination the DHCP server
