Ace -
Our Cisco routers have a DHCP relay function - I assumed that's all I needed
to enable to make it all work. Is there some sort of Microsoft service I
need to install on a box in each subnet to act as a relay agent?
Also, as far as the DHCP server itself, we have 3 subnets and 2 domains - a
forest root domain (root.com) which is on it's own subnet, and a tree root
domain (corp.com). The corp.com domain is the one that all of my users are
in. Corp.com has 2 subnets - one subnet is dedicated to our QA department,
which is an OU in the corp.com domain. The other subnet in the corp.com
domain is where everyone else is.
Which domain should the DHCP server belong to (or does it matter)? And how
does DHCP know which domain to dymanically register machines in? If I throw
a NT4 laptop on the root.com domain, and get an IP address via DHCP, will
the DHCP server know to register my IP in root.com DNS and not corp.com?
As far as a single point of failure, we currently have a single DHCP server
and have never had an issue with it for years (knock on wood). It's a small
office with 50 people so I'd like to keep it simple with 1 DHCP server if
possible.
TIA,
