@it_saige, it is NOT TRUE that Windows Server will disable DHCP if it detects another DHCP server on the network. That is only correct for SBS editions. Regular Windows Server will allow multiple DHCP servers on a network segment, and it fact that is recommended for multi-server environments so that there is high availability for the DHCP services.

@kevinhsieh - Thanks for the clarification. &nbsp;I knew there were instances where the DHCP service would be turned off. &nbsp;Just wanted to ensure that all the bases were covered. &nbsp;;)<br />

I want to add the DHCP rule to DC.<br />

Windows 2003 DHCP rule

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

DHCP

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
