2. Open the DHCP Manager (in Administrative Tools)

4. In the Scope menu for a specific server, select Create. Enter:
• Range of IP addresses in a subnet that can be leased
• Subnet mask for the address range
• IP addresses to be excluded from the scope
• Lease duration (can be defaulted)
• Scope name
The server can act either as a B Node (WINS
