...Assignment 1. DHCP Troubleshooting Dear Junior Administrator, I would start by rechecking your initial configurations to make sure the setting were saved. Once that is done, check to see if the workstations have picked up a new lease or not. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, did you check to make sure the server is up and operational? Have any Error messages or pop up’s appear with any type of warning, if so what did it say? Once the server has been checked, if it is working properly we will check these three common problems; 1. “The client might be configured to use an IP address not provided by the server. 2. The server sends a negative response back to the client, and the client displays an error message or popup indicating that a DHCP server could not be found. 3. The server leases the client an address but the client appears to have other network configuration–based problems, such as the inability to register or resolve DNS or NetBIOS names, or to perceive computers beyond its same subnet.”(Troubleshooting DHCP) On the chance that the DHCP server is off I would like you to follow these steps to try to restart the DHCP server. 1. “Start Windows Server, and log on under an account with Administrator rights. 2. At the command prompt, type net start dhcpserver , and then press ENTER. As a helpful tool Use Event Viewer in Administrative Tools to find the possible source of problems with DHCP services.”(Troubleshooting DHCP) I hope some of this...

...DHCP Troubleshooting Each subnet can have only a single DHCP scope with a single continuous range of IP addresses. To use several address ranges within a single scope or subnet for the DHCP service, you must first define the scope and then set any required exclusion ranges. Use the entire range of consecutive IP addresses that make up the local IP subnet for which you are enabling the DHCP service. Set exclusion ranges for any IP addresses within the scope that you do not want the DHCP server to offer or use for DHCP assignment. By setting an exclusion range for these addresses, you specify that DHCP clients are never offered these addresses when they request an IP address from the server. Excluded IP addresses can be active on your network, but only by manually configuring these addresses at hosts that do not use DHCP to obtain an address. To create a new DHCP scope: 1. Open the DHCP Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. 2. In the console tree, double-click the DHCP server you want to configure. 3. Right-click IPv4 or IPv6 and then click New Scope. 4. Follow the instructions in the New Scope Wizard. Before you create the scope, determine starting and ending IP addresses to be used within it. Depending on the starting and ending IP addresses for your scope, the DHCP console suggests a default subnet mask useful for most networks. If you know a different subnet mask is required for your network, you can modify the value as needed. When you finish creating...

...Dear IT Admin: I am working at a branch office and have been tasked with changing out the DHCP scope to match the overall corporate IP address scheme. The main office assigned me an IP address range of 192.168.0.200 through 192.168.0.225. I changed the scope on Friday afternoon and came in on Monday morning to discover that only some of the workstations had picked up new leases from the new DHCP scope. Any ideas as to what may be happening, what I might check or adjust? Thank you, Junior Admin --- Dear Junior Admin, A common problem that happens more often than not is assuming as soon as DHCP options are changed that all PCs will automatically implement them. It sounds like this may be an example of that exactly. With DHCP when the computer comes online it does a broadcast search for a DHCP server. The server responds with a message offering an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway as well as some DNS options and WINS if that is configured. Once the pc accepts it the DHCP server will send an acknowledgement message. At that point the PC will send back a message that it will take it and the DHCP server will send a message indicating that an IP address has been reserved for the lease period. At this point the PC will not contact the DHCP server again until halfway through the lease time, which is usually a default period of 8 days. If you want to force all of the PCs to grab a new IP address then you will have to go to each computer, open a DOS prompt, and...

...Unit 2: DHCP Troubleshooting Dear Junior Admin, Based on the what you have told me regarding the DHCP scope the overall corporate IP address, it sounds like you have a lease time settings which is probably set to renew ip addresses at the default times. Here is your options on what you can do with DHCP: Table 4.5 Default DHCP Options Code Option name Meaning 1 Subnet mask Specifies the subnet mask of the client subnet. This option is defined in the DHCP Manager Create Scope or Scope Properties dialog box. It cannot be set directly in the DHCP Options dialog box. 3 Router Specifies a list of IP addresses for routers on the client's subnet. Multihomed computers can have only one list per computer, not one per network adapter. 6 DNS servers Specifies a list of IP addresses for DNS name servers available to the client. 15 Domain name Specifies the DNS domain name that the client should use for DNS computer name resolution. 44 WINS/NBNS servers Specifies a list of IP addresses for NetBIOS name servers (NBNS). 46 WINS/NBT node type Allows configurable NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) clients to be configured as described in RFC 1001/1002, where 1 = b-node, 2 = p-node, 4 = m-node, and 8 = h-node. On multihomed computers, the node type is assigned to the entire computer, not to individual network adapters. 47 NetBIOS scope ID 1 Specifies a text string that is the NetBIOS over TCP/IP scope ID for the client, as specified in RFC 1001/1002. 51 Lease time ...

...Unit 2. Assignment 1. DHCP Troubleshooting Dear Junior Admin: My first question would be what have you done to this point about the issue? What OS are the computers running that have not picked up the new DHCP scope? Start by checking the DHCP setting and configurations are they all correctly configured? Try renewing the IP addresses on the workstations that have not picked up the scope it maybe do to the IP lease agreement. The Lease period defined for your DHCP, I think 8 days for wire and 24 for wireless. So machines will not request a new IP address until this lease expires. If a Machine reboots (or any similar events like disabling then enabling the NIC), it will ask for a new IP address from the DHCP, so I think the few machines that received new IP addresses from the new scope were rebooted. You should also check the system event log and DHCP server audit log files for details on any problems. Make sure the address scope has enough addresses if not widen the scope range. Check to see if it is a router/firewall problem and makes sure you have the service enable. If the OS is Windows XP, there is a known issue in which Winsock corruption has caused this exact issue. If it is a Winsock corruption on an XP machine you One thing that you can try is: 1. Start 2. Run 3. type in 'cmd' (without the quotes) 4. in the command prompt type: netsh winsock 5. reset library 6. With prompts, it should look like C:\Windows...

...DHCP Troubleshooting From: Admin To: Junior Admin One very common DHCP related issue is the assignment of an unexpected IP address. For example, suppose that your DHCP server was configured with an IP address scope of 192.168.0.1 to 192.1680.50. You would expect network hosts to be assigned IP addresses in this range. Now, suppose that a workstation on your network appeared to be having problems communicating with network servers. You issue an IPCONFIG /ALL command to view the workstation’s IP address configuration. Instead of the expected address range, the workstation has been assigned an address beginning with 169.254. If a host on your network is unexpectedly assigned an address beginning with 169.254, you can rest assured that the address was not assigned by your DHCP server. What actually has happened is that the workstation has failed to contact a DHCP server. When this occurs, the workstation will assign itself an IP address using a Windows feature known as Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). Microsoft built Automatic Private IP Addressing into Windows as a way of helping those who have very small networks. For example, if you were to create a small Windows network, you would not have to manually configure IP addresses even if there were no DHCP server on the network. APIPA would automatically assign a unique class B IP address to each machine on the network. This is great for small home networks but completely inappropriate for larger networks. If a workstation...

...T. J. Johnson NT 1330 Prof F. Pinkerton 12-19-2014 Unit 2 Assignment 1 DHCP troubleshooting Hello Mr. Junior Admin You have previously stated that you where tasking with changing the DHCP scope to match your IP addressing scheme. The IP address range you stated is of 192.168.0.200 through 192.68.0.225. You also said that you left Friday afternoon the day of the change and returned Monday morning to see that only some workstations had picked up the new leases from the new DHCP scope. I have come up with a couple solutions and approaches to just make sure everything you have done is right. First of all make sure you have implemented everything correctly in your DHCP scope range sometimes it’s a simple number mistake that can throw everything out the window also do the same for your subnet inputs any slight number will destroy everything that you are trying to achieve. Make sure the scope is under the established DHCP local role IP address range on your assigned server. My next approach would be to see if there’s connectivity between your user machines to the network. Make sure your NIC’s are all up to date and working. Most of these approaches I understand are very simple but it does not hurt to check up on. Another approach is rather long and very tedious but depending on how many users you have I would relay a memo to most of them with instructions to release their IP addresses and renew them through the console command input. I understand that most users may not...
