Hi,

We've just got a new in-house server (Windows Server 2003 SP1), all configured running active directory, exchange, DNS, etc etc.

Trying now to configure DHCP (which is being transferred from the old server), it just refuses to lease addresses no matter what I try, I just can't understand it.

Any ideas?

The DHCP server needs to be activated and authorized and will not lease addresses until it is. Make certain there are no other active DHCP servers when you go to activate the new one.

Fixed it, there were three vLan's on the NIC, and for some reason unless I added scopes for all three of those vLan's it wouldn't release addresses.

Thanks anyway,

Dan
