Install and Configure DHCP in Windows Server 2019 Step

This document provides instructions for installing and configuring DHCP server in Windows Server 2019. It describes installing the DHCP server role, running the post-installation wizard to authorize DHCP in Active Directory, and creating an IPv4 DHCP scope to assign IP addresses to clients on the 172.18.72.0/24 subnet range from 100 to 254. The steps are tested on a Windows 10 client to confirm it obtains an IP address from the new DHCP server.

Install and configure DHCP in Windows

Server 2019 Step By Step Guide Part-1 


 MSFT WebCast, 3 years ago  0  4 min read
This will be the two-part tutorial in which I will cover each and every step to install and configure the DHCP
server role on Windows Server 2019.
In the first part of this tutorial, I will show you the steps to install and configure the DHCP server role on
Windows Server 2019. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol used in Internet
Protocol (IP) networks. The server that supports the protocol is called a DHCP server. As its name indicates,
DHCP is a service that provides TCP/IP settings, such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address and
DNS server address to the clients automatically.
For this tutorial, I will be using my domain controller named as WS2K19-DC01 that is configured with IP
address 172.18.72.5/24 and hosts the Active Directory Domain Service role for the mylab.local domain. We
have one more Windows 10 virtual machine to test the DHCP server functionality.
Things to check before you start:

 Assign static IP address to the server.


 You must have administrative privilege to install DHCP server role.

Let’s get started.


Step:1 Install the DHCP Server Role in Windows Server 2019
Note: Remember already I have logged on as a domain administrator on WS2K19-DC01 machine. So we have
sufficient permission to install DHCP server role and to authorize the DHCP server in Active Directory
environment.
1. First of all open Server Manager Console, as we are going to install the DHCP server role.
2. On Server Manager dashboard, Click on Manage and select Add Roles and Features.
3. On before you begin, Click on Next button on the next screen.
4. On the Select installation type console, make sure you select Role-based or feature-based installation and
click Next button.
5. On the Select destination server screen, select our local server WS2K19-DC01 and click on Next.
6. On the Select server roles console, select the DHCP Server role for installation.
7. As soon as you choose DHCP, a new window appears. Click Add Features to add required features to
manager DHCP server properly. Click on Next.
8. On the select features console, just click next because we do not require any extra features at the moment.
9. On the DHCP Server console, you can read brief information about DHCP server. When you ready, click
next to continue.
10. On the Confirm installation selections console, Click on Install to start the installation process.
11. This will take some time to complete.
12. Once installation completes, click on “Complete DHCP configuration” link to start the “DHCP post-install
wizard”.
In case, if you close the console still you can start the “DHCP post-install wizard” by clicking on yellow
exclamation mark on the flag in server manager dashboard.
Step:2 DHCP Post Install Configuration
1. On description console, you can read what DHCP post-install configuration wizard is going to do.
This will create two security groups for DHCP administration:

1.     DHCP Administrators


2.     DHCP Users
If the server where you are installing DHCP server role is a domain controller or member server, then this
wizard is also going to register DHCP service in Active Directory as well. That is known as a DHCP
authorization in Active Directory.
Click on Next to continue.

2. On Authorization console, here we need to specify the user credential to register DHCP service in Active
Directory. Since we have login as a Domain Administrator and the user has the privilege to do that, I am going
with default selection “MYLABadministrator”.
Click on commit to proceed.
3. Once the security group creation and DHCP authorization complete successfully. Click on Close button to
close the DHCP post-install configuration wizard.
That’s it, we have successfully completed the installation of DHCP server role on Windows Server 2019
machine.
In the second part of this tutorial on the DHCP server, we will see the steps to configure DHCP server role on
Windows Server 2019. In which we will create DHCP scope and then we will check on our client machine
whether it receives IP address from DHCP server or not?
Hope, you will find this post helpful.
Thank for reading.

Configure DHCP on Windows Server 2019 –
(Part-2) 
 MSFT WebCast, 3 years ago  0  4 min read
In the second part of this article series we will move forward with DHCP configuration. Now you have installed
the DHCP server role on your server 2019, the next task is to configure DHCP by creating  DHCP scopes.
If you would like to read the first part in this article series please go to How to install DHCP server role on
Windows Server 2019 (Part 1).
 
What is DHCP Scope?
A scope is a range of IP addresses on a particular subnet that a DHCP server has selected for allocation to
clients when they make a DHCP request.
You can use DHCP management console or PowerShell to create DHCP scope. In this tutorial we will create
IPv4 DHCP scope using DHCP management console. You can also refer my video on YouTube to Install and
Configure DHCP on Server 2019.
Create IPv4 DHCP Scope:
1. On Server Manager console, Click on Tools and select DHCP to open DHCP management tool.
2. On the DHCP console, expand your server name. In my case it is ws2k19-dc01.mylab.local.
3. Select IPv4. On right pane you can see brief overview about DHCP scope and how to create it.
4. Right click on IPv4 and select “New Scope” option.
5. The New Scope wizard starts. Click on Next.
6. On the Scope Name screen, type any name of your choice to scope name. Add a description for scope, so you
can identify the scope information. Then click Next button.
7. On the IP Address Range screen, provide an IP address range (Start IP address and End IP address). For this
demo I am using 172.18.72.100 to 172.18.72.254 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.  Once you done with all,
click next to proceed.
8. On the Add Exclusions and Delay screen, leave it empty. Click on Next.
9. On the Lease Duration screen, I will change the default lease duration and set new lease duration to 8 hours.
You can adjust it as per your requirement. Click on Next to continue.
10. On Configure DHCP Option, we can configure additional DHCP options such as Gateways IP address,
DNS server address etc. Select “Yes, I want to configure these options now” and click on Next to continue.
11. On Router (Default Gateway) page, add your gateways IP address and click Next. (Don’t forget to click
on add button after specifying gateways address)
12. We have install the DHCP server role on our Domain Controller, so the wizard will automatically detect the
DNS server’s address. If you wish to add another DNS server address you can but for this demo will use our
local DNS address only. Click Next.
13. If you have any WINS server on your network, you can specify the address here. I am going to click
on next button as we don’t have any WINS server.
14. On the Activate Scope screen, select “Yes, I want to activate this scope now”. Until you activate the scope
your DHCP server is not able assign IP address to client request. Click Next.
15. On the next screen, click Finish to create a DHCP scope and close the wizard.
16. On the DHCP Console, Now you can see your newly created scope ready to distribute IP addresses to client
computers.
 Test DHCP server functionality:
To verify the DHCP server is working properly and distribute the IP address to clients.
1. Go to Windows 10 client machine. Right click on start button and select “Network Connections”.
2. Under change your network settings, click on change adapter settings that will open Network connection
console.
3. Select Ethernet adapter, Right click on it and select Properties.
4. Select TCP/IPv4 and click on properties.
5. Make sure you choose Obtain an IP address automatically, same goes to Obtain DNS server address
automatically. Click OK button.
6. Click on Close to close “Ethernet Properties” console.
7. Right click on Ethernet adapter again and select status.
8. Click on details option.
9. Here you can verify that our windows 10 client is getting IP address from DHCP Server that you just
configured.
10. Even from DHCP management console you can verify that clients are getting IP’s from DHCP server.
After this we can safely say that our DHCP server is configured and ready to allocate TCP/IP settings to the
DHCP clients.
In this post, we have seen the steps to install and configure DHCP server role in Windows Server 2019.
I hope this post will be helpful for all.
Thanks for reading.
