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

[@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 :)

[@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 !!!

[@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....

[@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!!!

[@HamiltoneUk]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@sanjarinho4932]

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

[@minhok9314]

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

[@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

[@deiaaldahabi3718]

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

[@primarycompclass7214]

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

[@ismailabdow3844]

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

[@bryantdorsey9074]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@Irwinbinamungu]

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

[@shantanumishra1567]

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

[@shaikmaksood8774]

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

[@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

[@finalfantasy9523]

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

[@brettolivier6135]

You're my favorite online IT guy Eli!

[@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

[@SkyViewSnap]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@ADKAdmin]

Almost 6 years later.... “IPv6 is on the horizon”

[@jake2663]

Make that going on 8 xD his videos are still relevant

[@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 :)

[@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 :)

[@KentOJohnson]

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

[@corocorachannel4235]

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

[@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.

[@crredsox13]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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,

[@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

[@kepesem]

Eli you are the BEST teacher.

[@yunieandyuyen]

This guy better than my instructor Thankyou

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

[@talhahilal3588]

on 13:11 after setting static IP of your own how did you get you icons of IPV4 and IPV6 showing enabled , in my case it is showing disabled. what is the logic behind this? what am i missing? please guide. do I need to set the static IP to which system was working on? i.e 192.168...

[@MariselaDuron]

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

[@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*

[@jonaleemanson]

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

[@choppy1356]

At about 13:40 into this video, I open the DHCP snap-in from Tools, and the left pane tree shows DHCP > 169.254.120.133 and then under that both IPv4 and IPv6. Your video shows server.etcg.com. Why am I missing my server and domain name? I've rebooted, and I can ping www.google.com. My network adapter is set to 192.168.1.20 for the machine IP on a /24 network with my router as the default gateway, and DNS servers are the same IP as the machine and my router IP as secondary.

[@ramanmono]

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

[@wouteruffen7660]

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

[@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.

[@gforero]

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

[@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!

[@lansovictor5204]

Informative and self explanatory videos. Good Job Eli

[@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.

[@winterjackal]

Hello there, Great videos.. I do have one question.. At 21:49 when we are done setting up DHCP on the windows 2012 server and you go back to the server manager dashboard it still says "Configuration required" and when you go there it tells you to activate it and there is more to do. At this point I do not know what to do and was wondering if you could elaborate on the next steps or point me to another video of yours that continues where this one left off. Thanks!

[@AtifSinging]

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.

[@zamongkor2944]

Great explanation I am following your videos to understand the 2012 server. I have installed 2012 server o build a home network with static IP on router to it i.e 192.168.1.100 I have Four windows 7 pro and 4 phones and 2 tablets that are served by the router WiFi. My question is If I disable the DHCP on the router then any device (Android) connected via Wifi would not be issued any ip? Can't I use the Wifi and Server at the same time? need an idea please.

[@tehbarbour]

You're great man. I appreciate all of these classes and tutorials you do. Thanks man!

[@omarrd33]

I like your videos before I start watching them.

[@goformickey]

When I got to 14:33 the naming of the server wasn't like "server.etcg.com"(or in my case "winserver.michael.com"). Instead what was listed was a random IP address unrelated to my server (169.254.103.235). What is the likely issue here?

[@myaigeneratedthoughts]

goformickey windows has assigned this because it cannot find a DHCP server within the network subnet, the address is called (Automatic Private IP Addressing) in short APIPA

[@bentrally]

So will this affect the server or do you just ignore it?

[@mokaibaNEW]

its a default ip that happens when the computer gets no assigned IP. you need to setup dhcp to give the computer an IP.

[@destroyerofthering2237]

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

[@zeeitechriver]

Same with me, Windows 8 Pro gets IP address from DHCP server running on Windows Server 2012, but no internet connection. The server has a static IP configured and hence can access the internet, but not the DHCP clients.

[@deiaaldahabi3718]

What option in virtual box network configuration should I use? NAT bridge network!!

[@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!

[@mbilvu]

hi i am totally new from windows server 2012 i have follow your tutorial can i ask during 20:37 it show got other pc access and release the address can teach me how i open one pc and test the ip release?

[@mbilvu]

Haha I still a beginner No people teach me yet. But in the server channel , it let me understand what is a server and what service does it provide

[@shri078]

Thank You Eli!! You are good, Hope you teach Sharepoint administration someday as i need it badly!! Again well done and thank you so much for your videos!! You Rock!!

[@DennardC_27]

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

[@ellerysmite7809]

Learning right along with you and have the same question - but it looks like this has something to do with authorizing the DHCP server. I have multiple installations of Wndows Server 2012 on my network, and I read somewhere that multiple DHCP servers will cause this red arrow, but I have yet to chase down the rogue DHCP server (if that is even the case). I'll reply back if I get a definitive answer but maybe this can help in the meantime.

[@papijelly]

I have a question. I followed all the steps but i am having issues. now i am doing this on virtualVOX. DO i still need to disabled dhcp on my home router. OR is virtualvox on its own network. The other windows instances ive created all have internet except for my server. Another thing, is the default gateway you set up(10.1.10.1) on the server is it the same default gateway my host computer ?

[@roytamminga6246]

If you use NAT, then it is, it uses the same information of the host

[@g.l4200]

Roy Tamminga same question just to be clear. i am using vmware do i need to disable the dhcp on my router. do i need information from my router to set up any of the static information. Thank you in advance for your help

[@roytamminga6246]

george kennedy I will gladly help you further through IM. You can add [e-mail] to your messenger client :)

[@tapong8842]

i'm also using VMware. and ihave the same issue.. help pls.

[@papijelly]

if your using a VM. just make sure you dual nic ur vm. one is going to be bridged to your actually pc the other one is an internal vm network connection. with this being said you then asign your network inside of your vm to w e you want an should not have issues.

[@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.

[@obempa]

Everything set up fine on my network per Eli's instruction but all of my clients indicate "no internet access". The DC itself can access the internet with no problems but not the clients. The DNS IP is 127.0.0.1 with an alternate of 8.8.8.8. DHCP is also disabled on the router. Does anyone have any suggestion on what I may have missed or not done?

[@MrAlkaline1990]

How know the dhcp from WS to communicate with the router without giving some credentials. Only a gateway address it's enough?

[@ITHelper100]

Very helpful videos. Thanks. Do you take questions? If so, want to move Windows 2003 SBS to a new Windows Server 2012 standard. Has about 30 users probably only half use it regularly. Has a SQL server application. Would it be better to start new 2012 server from scratch with new domain, etc. or attempt a migration. Thanks again.

[@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?

[@sleepee11]

whats up eli? good vids as usual, but i have a suggestion. since a lot of us are doing this setup in virtual environments, it would've been helpful to let people know that in vmware, when you specify a network address, by default, the network address + .1 would be the IP of the host and network address + .2 is the IP of virtual router. so for example, my network is on 192.168.0.x. host connection = 192.168.0.1 default gateway (and dns by default) = 192.168.0.2 took me a while to find that out
