Basic DHCP Setup on Windows Server 2012

[@Sam-ff7fd]

I am currently 11 years old and I really enjoy this configuration of Windows Server 2012 because, I am a geek at IT and I love using computers for configuration or setting them up and some people say that learning very complex stuff at this age is surprising but later in my like, I'll remember who taught me configuring a server on KZbin! I know you made this video in 2013 but, you are really good and I completely understand what you say to me! I hope you would make more IT videos but anyways, keep it up :)

[@saucepan3007]

dammm dude, im proud of you brother. go on son

[@AIC69420]

Yes I am 11 year old IT guy/professional and I do confirm his videos are pretty cool

[@oliverpoate4865]

me but at 14! Im currently trying to work with Active Directory and Virtual Machines and Thin Clients and All of the VDI stuff which is quite confusing sometimes!

[@owensanto4004K]

Sam A nice 😁. I’m 14 years old and I’ve successfully made active directory domain servers several time. But the most recent one i did I successfully set up group policy objects and stuff like that.

@@mondo_burrito at 11 u working at fotune 500 si amazing . iam at 37 in It company and still i dont understand servers fully

[@ianhowell4015]

I love your drawings on the digital whiteboard, Eli. You are a true artist.

[@weapon777]

hahahahhahah

[@saucepan3007]

Yes I've been printing and framing them :D

[@seynabouba779]

thank you so much Eli. You're really an angel, after every watch of your excellent videos I feel more confident and like more computer sciences. God bless you !!!

[@richswavy3626]

Mr.Eli, I want to thank you for this valuable information, I have been in the IT field for the password few years and I am trying to gain more knowledge in my skill set. your info is gold

[@RupertTheLonelyTurtle]

The ads that pop up, for me at least, on your channel are for the first time for me on youtube are ads that I am interested in and appeal to me. In addition coming home from Networking classes and going though your videos as recaps are really useful. Thanks for putting all these lovely resources up :)

[@larsiparsii]

Attention!! I went through many hours furiously trying to figure out why I couldn't get my server connected to my "lab" router. It turned out I had to set the network adapter in Virtualbox to "bridged" and not NAT (which is the default setting). Just thought someone else was struggling with the same issue. ;)

[@tylergillum2628]

So glad I found this comment. I was beating my head off of my desk for about an hour over this exact problem!

[@elithecomputerguy]

You have to set the network within VirtualBox for both machines... id say to set them to Internal network with the default Internal Network name.... Right click virtual machine in virtualbox - select settings - select Network....

[@X3thACs]

A useful and competent explanation, so I tried it and it turned out that everything works fine. Special thanks to the author for such useful content.

[@HamiltoneUk]

well worth re-learning basic DHCP in 2024 - thanks again!

[@primarycompclass7214]

A real education from an Tech guy you really understand his thing! Long live Eli!

[@minhok9314]

Thank you Eli. Even this video was uploaded 8 years ago, it still helps me a lot.

[@sanjarinho4932]

your unique way of explaining things is why I started watching your other videos and appreciate them.. thanks a million

[@ismailabdow3844]

Watching 2020 whenever I feel bored at quarantine .. Thanks so much eli

[@zamongkor2944]

When you are not next to the Whiteboard, it is disappointing, Please consider going back to the old whiteboard as it is you what make these videos understandable. your gestures and expressions become part of the explanation that I have so far learned.

[@fcsunday5458]

Thank you so very much, you are the best teacher in the world, very clear and beautiful English pronunciation, makes complicated cause easy understood, also video, especially audio is very good quality, I belive you have spent lot of money on the recording devices, thanks again!!!

[@bryantdorsey9074]

All I can say is thanks for the videos man.. you're a really good instructor.

[@deiaaldahabi3718]

Thank you Eli, you help me even after 8 yrs 🥺

[@satman6124]

Worked great thankyou. Got a bit puzzled until I realized that I had to activate it. Then saw a comment after I fixed it. Now on to DNS

[@MarkBinns73]

love your videos Eli, im using them as a refresher and to find out the new features of server. I have my MCP in server 2000 but have not done anything with pc's for a while now. One thing i would like to point out is you forgot to go through the process of authorizing the dhcp server with active directory. Keep up the good work and thanks again for producing these videos

[@BrorAndreStrmsnes]

Don't think you need to authorize it. I recently installed a Server 2012 DHCP in our domain at work, and i did not authorize it. It seems like it did that all by itself.

[@chumpmu1]

I was also interested in why he configured the “Basic” scope to hand out 101 addresses, but left the subnet mask at an 8 prefix of 255.0.0.0

[@jesusbatallan3605]

Thanks for all your video class, really helpful especially relate to a windows server. Even for people with English as a second language, your video are easy to understand and follow.

[@sdiggly]

Thanks for doing these Eli. You explain these topics very well. I always feel like I understand things so much better when I hear it from you as opposed to reading about online or in a book. Keep up the great work!

[@Irwinbinamungu]

Thank you man...your videos are exactly what i need to achieve my networking dream.

[@NoSparks]

These are the best classes and I watched many. Really good explanation sir! THANK YOU. I`m late a couple of years, shuld have started long ago but will keep on watching

[@SkyViewSnap]

I really appreciate for your teaching in simple and very friendly way.

[@Tharisis]

I like to thank you for 2012 spool up from 2007 looks like some GUI changes and such but its all the same ... Thank you for the basic walk through on locations, This is a great instruction video.. It kinda reminded me of sitting in the class room once more..lol

[@corocorachannel4235]

Really great explanations! if all teachers/trainers in the world would be like this....

[@shantanumishra1567]

i have my Wintel assesment nxt week and your videos helped alot, thanks a tonn😀

[@blanka6741]

Duud ur a life saver literally like im getting my diploma and its all about this things like with you i got the chance to understand them pretty well ❤❤thnxxx allot

[@Mosiano]

Dude is nice

[@coodyscoops]

In case anyone have problems authorizing the DHCP server, make sure that your account is part of the domain admins and that your account password is set to meet complexity requirements for when you have to use credentials. To be safe you should specify the account rather than use the first option. Push comes to shove create a new user with the appropriate permissions and authorize from that account. Worked for me. This is if you get the error code 20070.

[@elyutravel]

you are so Intelligent Guy and a good teacher, your tutorials are clear,, thank you for the knowledge,, i can no setup my own,

[@CodeNameCappy]

Love you man ( NO HOMO) i set up my new server now and add users

[@MyuFoxable]

Great video but something critical that had me scratching my head. Maybe I missed it, but you have to select your DHCP server then click Actions>Authorize. Also note your account needs to be a domain admin to have the option. If you set up in vmware, you will need to login as Administrator and add your account to the domain admin group from the Active Directory Administrative Center.

[@brettolivier6135]

You're my favorite online IT guy Eli!

[@shaikmaksood8774]

Loved it from India ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks a lot brother..

[@Rodrigo8]

You missed activating the authorization server

[@archibalts]

I spent around an hour trying to understand why I had red arrows down for DHCP..Server authorization sorted it..

[@MD-xg1em]

I wasted 2 hours trying everything that the forums suggested. Thank you Rod!

[@enloquecerse7076]

THANK YOU ROD

[@United_States_of_India]

You want to unauthorize that first. Then authorize your server name again, then it will be green.

[@xXDeltaXxwhotookit]

Was just struggling to work out why my PC couldn't find the DHCP server... thank you

[@gforero]

Eli... Thank you very much, you are a very gifted teacher... I appreciate your effort

[@KentOJohnson]

This guide worked perfectly for me for a basic starter setup.

[@Salentije1984]

Not sure if this has been mentioned but before your other computers get ip automatically from your dhcp server you need to Authorize it. Just click on domain name and hit Authorize.

[@yunieandyuyen]

This guy better than my instructor Thankyou

[@10101979AM]

You missed activating of DHCP as well as did not show how to add a computer in your video.

[@xxdoobxx1322]

atif masood yes.i wonder if he connect the client via wired or wireless...as i'm stuck on completing my college assessment right now thinking about that.

[@3x0dos]

Eli, Please go get Start Is Back. I know you want to show your viewers how it will look when they get in, BUT it makes life so much better! I have it installed on my Linked clones in my lab and it resets the trial at start. Highly recommended.

[@benscons768]

Eli: *Goes on 6 min rant about IPv6 and how its been 15 Years* Me: *looking at the Date 8 years in the past*

[@finalfantasy9523]

thx Eli . u rly help so many ppl with your teachings . I appreciate it .

[@wouteruffen7660]

Thank you Eli for all the video's. Really appreciate ALL the Video's you make.

[@crredsox13]

When you log into the router and view the DHCP settings, Select manual and leave it blank. That worked for me.

[@3eeple]

yep! No problem as long as your Server is running 24/7, it will provide DHCP configuration to all your computers on the network. Beware if you are running your Lab in a VM, as you would have to run the VM at all time. Hope this helps :)

[@jonaleemanson]

Hey Eli your videos are so helpful to most of the Computer guys. Thanks much

[@110110mat1]

Hi i using VMWare and i saw your comment here. I want help you. You can connect automatically with your home pc to server with server IP or you can do it with THE one thing "TURN OFF YOUR PC(if you use virtual machines) CONNECTIONS LIKE WIFI OR CABLE" like Eli said in the video and try to connect yourself with from win8 if u will have any trouble type to CMD or PowerShell "ipconfig /release" and then "ipconfig /renew" but first check that u did AUTHORIZE your DHCP server (its in panel). Works

[@omarrd33]

I like your videos before I start watching them.

[@akashlahane328]

Hi sir u are the best teacher sir i just want that please make some more videos on windows server 2012 r2. Yes I know their are the videos on it but it is a basic videos I am expecting some more advance videos means extra features, roles,etc which are in windows server 2012 r2 has been given in server sir please I am requesting u because I can understand your explanations better not a better i can say it best . Than the others so please sir make it and help all of us like this.

[@kepesem]

Eli you are the BEST teacher.

[@lynxlive555]

A work around with having 2 dhcp services running is to have 1 leasing a pool like the dhcp on server and another on the home routers leasing a differnt pool. but all within the same subnet, for /24 you got .1-.254 addresses in the pool to use .1 = gateway, .2 = pc, .3-.20 = server dhcp, .21-. 50 = router dhcp, .51-.100 = network and so on. keep it in pools so leases arnt overlapping and you shouldn't have a issue.

[@GerardDijkstra2014]

First thanks for the outstanding lessons You are saying that a client computer will use the secondary DNS adress to solve a querry outside the windows domain,but I think it will not use the secondary server because the primary server(the DC) can do the querry of it self,only if is forwarding is configured on the DNS server on the DC for querrys outside the domain then the primary DNS server is used or better the client uses the primary DNSserver and the primary use thesecondary for forwarding

[@lansovictor5204]

Informative and self explanatory videos. Good Job Eli

[@fontane007]

Oh its gone green now, not sure why but everything is now fine. P.S. Grreeeaaattttt video's Eli, I've just started studying for my Server 2012 exam and these videos are a great source of information.

[@destroyerofthering2237]

Thank you so much Eli :) I am refreshing my brain with your teachings about windows server.

[@Chazillor]

thanks for all these dns/active directory/dhcp vids Eli, it just so happens that I'm doing it at college right now and these are helping a lot :)

[@XtrAMassivE]

Thank you a lot Eli, I was trying to make WDS to work but the client didn't connect and was scratching my head why. Thanks to you i finally managed to make it working, all it needed was a proper scope and your tutorial worked great. Thanks a bunch

[@MariselaDuron]

Eli, thanks a lot for all you videos. Love them!!

Awesome stuff Eli, thanks for this service you're providing sir.

[@zenargaming1257]

Eli Dude! i was amaze that you have a lot of books that i need at your back! *drool!!! it is really hard to look for those kinds of books nowadays here in the Philippines because of the E-books and online learning! thumbs up :) and by the way your tutorials are amazing!

[@andriusandrau]

I know for a fact, at some point, during setup (in Server 2008 R2), your primary DNS ip can change after a computer restart. It changes to localhost 127.0.0.1. You would need to go to your adapter settings to reconfigure it again. In my case, the VM was attached to Bridged Adapter in VM options (aka Hub), which was connected to my host's (my physical machine) network adapter (wireless), which also was active at the time I wrote this message.

[@oliviersama2150]

This is very nice! Very clear! Great job! I am doing MCSE now. Hopefully I can pass. :p

[@ameyamagashe]

Please keep making such awesome videos, we love your teaching and tips !

[@EagleZoo]

Great video. I didn't hear you mention it, but one time I had a brand new server commissioned, and the IP addressing and connectivity was really messed up and it turned out to be cached entries on a switch. Just in case someone out there is frustrating over it I thought I'd include the reboot of the switch part!

Just Order that book from Amazon with 50% off and free shipping. Can't beat it!!!

[@pureice484]

for those stuck at 21:00, i first change the vm setting from NAT to bridge. After that click the green arrow on the paper refresh button, but it does not work. the address however, pop out after I did the right click and refresh all tab. yall can try, see if this is the reason why it does/does not work

[@murphyld66]

What advantage do you have letting Windows manage DHCP instead or the router? When CISCO setup our network they recommended letting the router handle DHCP?

[@cocomidnight]

This was so helpful thank you! I had to setup a DHCP relay, and something else that was causing issues was that the dhcp windows server was unauthorised n

[@garethmoore7282]

Greetings from sunny Ireland Eli. Your videos have been great, not just the ones on windows server 2012 but also your recent ones as you tour around America ...Awesome. Anyways i'm using a windows hosted vps with windows server 2012 on it. Is there any difference in DHCP config in this case? Cheers Gareth

[@ovidiuluchian]

+Gareth Moore The VPS is a remote site and it has a public address. If you would set that Windows Server as a DHCP server would be simply unreliable because if your internet connection dies you won't get an IP address on your workstations. If I understand this correctly (and i may not, since i am learning this right now aswell) you will need to setup a VPN between your server and your router (this will make the network your computers are part of as a "local network" to your server) then the configuration is very similar provided the router doesn't drop your DHCP requests because of firewall settings.

[@antunezcarlos]

My Friend, you are the Best!!

[@patrishababe1383]

You're the best Eli ...Thank you so much

[@eb8931]

Hi Eli, Love your work. It's making it a bit easier for a complete noob like myself understand better. But this episode went beyond me. I don't have enough characters to explain why I have WS2012, but I do, and I'm a pretty quick learner, but are coming from a background with zero familiarity. I was doing ok, until this class. I don't have a static IP, I'm using a regular dynamic IP (in France). I tried hard coding the 10.1.10.x address you did, but could no longer connect to the internet.

[@ramanmono]

so you set the static IP for the server after you install the roles....or before?

[@hamedrafiei4863]

You are an amazing teacher and thanks a lot

[@y1ink]

Nice, thanks. Found it very easy to understand.

[@coco26006]

hello from 2019 I've been hearing my whole technical career that were totally gonna be using IPV6 any day now guys since 2012 and look at that almost everyone is still using IPV4, to be honest IPV6 would be nice to work with mostly just because you don't need to work with subnetting.

[@FictionsAndIllusions]

Hi Eli, thanks for posting this informative video. My question regarding your comment about turning off DHCP on the modem when using Microsoft DHCP is that if I connect a separate router to my default gateway to create a lab for my server and I turn off my default gateway's DHCP, will I need to manually assign IP addresses to my home devices?

[@OLBICHL]

You are now my lifesaver! Thanks for the vids!!!

[@Isaac1995]

I'm currently training for my MCSA exams and i've only setup an Active Directory server once. Your videos are very informative. I have subscribed and I look forward to your future videos. One question though. As the maximum range is .254 in IPv4, would I need to setup a secondary DC in order for more clients to connect?

[@sonarwolf2]

+Isaac Blackburn U Just need to use a different Subnet mask like 255.255.0.0, than u could use 254*254 IP Adresses for my understanding of Networking

[@uniqe23]

Great lesson. You mentioned " Turning off the DHCP functionality on the Router ".. However, what if there are other clients ( ie. devices that only regular internet access and do not need to access the Domain. At this point would it not be wiser to SUBNET the DHCP Server instead?..

[@berndeckenfels]

Don’t set up different dns tiers as alternate dns servers in dhcp, set up two (win) dns servers who know the domain and hand them out in dhcp - and add the gateway (or resolvers isp) only as forwarded in win dns.
