The DHCP server obviously requires a static address, but you can still enter a reservation for it so you see it in the table.

What about the DHCP server itself? What if that is running on a DC?   From: Ed Crowley [MVP] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 19, 2005 10:58 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] another dhcp question   A big pro is that if you change your DNS or WINS servers' IP addresses, router address, or domain name, you don't have to visit every system to make the change.  You can just plan ahead, reduce the lease renewal period, and then update the property in one location.
