Re: win2K server, AD and DHCP configuration

Lachlan,

How are you trying to 'authorize' the new DHCP Server? Sounds like you are
going at this the correct way. Are you using an account that is a member of
the Enterprise Admins? Most likely, huh?

Are you doing it this way?

I am not familiar with doing this on anything other than a WIN2000/WIN2003
box (usually also a Domain Controller / DNS Server).

Hi,

We have a win2K server (fully updated) that is our PDC and is our
file/print/DNS/IIS server.

We also have a debian linux firewall and a different debian linux box as a
thin client and DHCP server. Plus aboput 15-20 MS workstations (2K/XP pro
mix)

SO on the weekend I reinstalled the DHCP/thin client server Linux box with
some newer OS (from K12LTSP to Debian).

Now, I cannot get the Win2K server DHCP Administration snap -in (I think
it's called that, I get there via the "Administrative Tools" in my
menu...)
to load the new debian server as the DHCP server.

Previously, the AD accepted the K12LTSP (redhat based) as a DHCP server,
but
now it will not accept the Debian box?

Does anyone know how to fix this?
I get the error

"Cannot find the DHCP Server"

I can ping both boxes from each other, I've added the new box to the Win2K
DNS snap-in, and all of my users have logged in no trouble this morning,
so
obviously DHCP is working. I just cannot get the AD to recognise the
non-Windows DHCP?

Cheers
