Chad decides to move the DHCP service from Server 1 to Server2. After installing DHCP on Server2, Chad creates a new scope in DHCP and activates it. Users report that they cannot log on to the network. Chad notices that the client computers are not receiving an IP address configuration from the DHCP server.
He opens Event Viewer on Server2 and views an event that states “The DHCP service failed to see a directory server for authorization.” What should Chad do to fix this issue?
Explanation
Answer - A - Chad should Authorize the DHCP service on Server2 in Active Directory.
Key Takeaway: To authorize a DHCP service, open the DHCP console from the Administrative Tools menu. In the Console Tree, right-click DHC, and then click Manage Authorized Servers. In the Manage Authorized Servers dialog box, select Authorize. In the Authorize DHCP Server dialog box, type the name or IP address of the DHCP server to be authorized and then click OK. The computer will list the IP and full computer name and then ask for confirmation. Click OK to continue.
