SYS255 Lab 7.1 - Robertsegee/TechJournals GitHub Wiki

10/26/20 Lab 7.1 DHCP is Down!: In this lab, we were faced with the scenario of the DHCP server being stolen and our task was to set up a new DHCP that has all the old configuration deployed on Windows. The steps I went about doing this were as follows:

  1. Install DHCP server role on FS01
    First, we install DHCP onto FS01 so that it can register and the active directory will give us the DHCP option.
  2. Install DHCP server tools onto AD02
    Before this, we were not able to configure the DHCP because there was no option in the active directory tools. installing the tools allows for the option to appear
  3. Configure the DHCP server
    Then once you go into the DHCP from tools, right-click and add a server, if you have already added a server then you can click the Manage authorized servers option:
    IPv4 -> right-click to add a new scope
    Add a name and description, set IP range, next, set lease time, yes, add default gateway, next, next, yes, and finally finish
    You should now see the scope folder in the IPv4 section
  4. Test to see if it works
    I tested to see if it worked by going to WKS02 and changing the IP from static to dynamic. I then did ipconfig /all to confirm that it was receiving an IP and that the DHCP was registering, and finally I visited youtube from browser to confirm I was connected to the internet. Alternatively, I could have used the ping command to website
