Add DHCP Servers

DHCP servers require Server controllers and need to be added using their fully qualified names (such as dns1.europe.ad.mmdemo.local).

Note

Servers in Microsoft Active Directory environments can be added without installing a server controller. See Agent-free management of DNS/DHCP servers.

The following table demonstrates the different options when adding a DHCP Server.

Server type	Description
Microsoft Agent-Free (Use proxy not checked)	The DHCP Server Controller has been installed on the machine running the Men&Mice Central Component, and that machine will be used as a proxy. Men&Mice is not able to track lease history data.
Microsoft Agent-Free (Use proxy checked)	The DHCP Server Controller has been installed on the machine identified in the Use proxy server field, and that machine will be used as a proxy. Men&Mice is not able to track lease history data.
Microsoft with Agent Installed	The DHCP Server Controller has been installed on the remote DHCP server. Men&Mice is able to track lease history data.
