Hello All, I am practicing my new mcse skills on a single machine at home. 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. Everything is working fine. Everything is at default.
I promoted to a domain controller, accepting all defaults during the wizard, including installing DNS. All went smoothly. This DC is not linked to any another machines yet. I configured this home machine DC with a static ip of 192.168.101.200, and with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. In addition, the default gateway (metric 1), the primary DNS, and WINS, are all configured with that same ip in tcp/ip properties. I created one scope in DHCP, 192.168.101.1 to 192.168.101.254. I excluded the static ip of the DC, 192.168.101.200. I activated the scope. I did not configure any scope options. 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 specified servers are already present in the directory service." What is wrong? What do I need to do here? What do I need to know to successfully authorize DHCP? Thanks.
