Hello All,

Simple question: How do I authorize a RIS Server when it is not on the same box as the DHCP Server. I am running WIN2000 across the board.

I know how to authorize the DHCP Server. Open up the DHCP MMC on the machine that is running DHCP and boda bing, boda boom. No problem. I tried to do the same for the RIS Server ( from the box on which DHCP is running with that DHCP MMC ) but I was not able to....yes, BINL service is running on this box. I am not able to open a DHCP MMC on the RIS Server ( makes sense, DHCP is not running! ).

Any help would be appreciated...

Thank you,

Cary

Is the DHCP server also a domain controller? If not, try to authorize RIS server from a domain controller.
Another idea, install DHCP server service on the RIS server, authorize it but don't configure any scopes.
