Re: DHCP

Hello Bob,

Even if you use fixed ip's, the machines will renew the DNS records and for that it needs the running service:

OK, thank you for your very quick response. Why would a static
address need to be registered and renewed on a private network? Also
since there is not databse period in the DHCP folder where would I get
a copy to rebuild? Can I copy the DHCP database from the DHCP folder
and place it there?

Thank you again for any information you can give me.

Hello Bob,

Don't do this. DHCP client service is needed for registration and
renewal of the records in DNS.

I am new to Windows Server 2003 and have Static Addresses set up on
all of my servers. I have 3 DNS servers running Windows 2000
Server. The rest are all running Windows Server 2003 with Exchange
or other various applications. I have read everything I can get my
hands on regarding DHCP Client. I believe that I can disable DHCP
client on all servers where I am running Static IP addresses,
however can not find any information that confirms that as fact.

I am getting errors on all of these machines that might indicate a
corrupt database however, since these mahines in question are not my
DHCP server, and there is no databse in the directory, then I just
want to be sure that disabling the DHCP Client Service on these
machines will not have a negative impact on my network.

Thank you in advance for your review and assistance.
