You are an administrator of an Active Directory domain named xyz.com. You configure a server named Server 2 as xyz.com’s DHCP server. All client computers are configured as DHCP clients. Users report that they cannot connect to network resources. You investigate and discover that the client computers are not receiving their TCP/IP configurations from Server 2. What should you do to fix this issue?
  1. Run the net stop dhcpserver command.
  2. Authorize Server 2 using the DHCP console.
  3. Run the net start dhcpserver command.
  4. Restart the DHCP service using the DHCP console.
Explanation
Answer - B - To fix this problem, you must authorize Server 2 using the DHCP console.

To authorize a DHCP server in Active Directory, open DHCP and click DHCP in the console tree. On the Action menu, click Manage authorized servers. The Manage Authorized Servers dialog box appears. Click Authorize. When prompted, type the name or IP address of the DHCP server to be authorized and then click OK.
