DHCP server error

Hi
DHCP servers must be authorised within active directory before they can give out IP addresses. Unless there is a deeper issue (inwhich case you'll need to provide more dets) simply right click on the dhcp server within the dhcp mmc and selct 'authorise'. Hope this helps...

When you setup Active dictory you need to Authorize it with Active dictory. This helps prevent rogue (unauthorized) DHCP servers from joining an existing DHCP network in which Windows 2000 Server and Active Directory are deployed. A DHCP server object is created in Active Directory, which lists the IP addresses of servers that are authorized to provide DHCP services to the network. When a DHCP server attempts to start on the network, Active Directory is queried and the server computer?s IP address is compared to the list of authorized DHCP servers. If a match is found, the server computer is authorized as a DHCP server and is allowed to complete the system startup. If a match is not found, the server is identified as rogue, and the DHCP service is automatically shut down.

tell the enterprise administrator to authorize the DHCP server
