RE: Prevent Rogue DHCP servers on a network

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



A member server that has DHCP installed will not issue DHCP leases until the
server is authorized in Active Directory.

So why not add your DHCP servers to Active Directory and ensure your clients
are joined to the domain as well?

I hope that I am posting this to the correct newsgroup.

Problem:
Where I teach at, when it comes to DHCP portion, we need to unplug our
servers from the network so that the other computers in the class room do
accept the DHCP OFFER packets from our DHCP servers that we are using.

Is there a way in Active Directory to make a client only accept DHCP OFFER
packets from servers that are authorized in Active Directory either through a
GPO or a registry entry?

Thank you in advance
