Are you trying from an account with enough permissions to authorise? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, 3 February 2002 3:08 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Authorizing DHCP
Hello All, I am practicing my new mcse skills. I am logged on as administrator of course. I recently reinstalled 2000 advanced server on a clean hard drive. All service packs and patches are in. I promoted to a domain controller, accepting all defaults during the wizard. All went smoothly. This is a single machine at home. The machine is not linked to another machine yet. I configured this DC with a private class c static ip of xxx.xxx.xxx.200, and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. So, DHCP, DNS, WINS, and default gateway in tcp/ip properties are all configured with that same ip. I configured one scope in DHCP, xxx.xxx.xxx.1 to xxx.xxx.xxx.254. I excluded the static ip of the DC, xxx.xxx.xxx.200. I activated the scope. All still was well. Then I authorized DHCP. Something is wrong, however. The red arrow on the DHCP server won't go away. It won't turn green. And the details pane still says the server needs to be authorized. When I try to authorize it again, I get a message that says the server is already in the directory service. What is wrong? What do I need to do here? Thanks.
