You work as a network administrator at ABC.com. The ABC.com network consists of a single
domain named ABC.com. All servers on the ABC.com network have Windows Server 2012 R2
installed and all client computers have Windows 8 installed.
You install the DHCP server services on a server named ABC_SR02 and configure a DHCP
scope for the ABC.com network. You want ABC_SR02 to automatically assign IP configurations to
all client computers on the network.
How would you accomplish this task? (Choose all that apply)
A.
You should activate the DHCP scope on ABC_SR02.
B.
You should authorize ABC_SR02 in Active Directory.
C.
You should configure the client computers to Obtain an IP address automatically.
D.
You should configure the client computers to with an alternative IP address.
Explanation:
A DHCP server must be authorized before it can assign IP configurations to client computers.
Client computers must be configured to receive IP addresses automatically.

Why not A B and C?
Becuase DHCP scopes do not need activation, they just need to be created.
They do need activating, A must be part of the answer or the scope will not be used to issue IP addresses.
Should be A, B, C
B & C. This is ambiguous. ABC.com is a domain, but it doesn’t say it’s an Active Directory domain. Because it doesn’t explicitly say “Active Directory”, answer B is questionable. A and C however, are not. The answer is wrong. The scope MUST be activated, and of course, the clients must be configured for auto-IP.
Sorry, I meant A & C lol
Kevin, they do need to be activated:

A, B, C. The scope needs to be activate, the server must be authorized to provide the addresses, the clients must be set for DHCP.
A:The scope needs to be activated still.
B:DHCP authorization is the process of registering the DHCP Server in the active directory database to service DHCP clients.
C:Configure client to obtain IP automatically
My two cents:
The question states “You install the DHCP server services on a server named ABC_SR02 and configure a DHCP scope for the ABC.com network”. When you go through creating a new scope using the New Scope Wizard the last check box asks “Do you want to activate this scope now?”. Implicitly the question leads us to believe the scope has already been activated.
B & C
I agree, scope needs to be activated. Answer should be A, B, C
Hi All,
Folks, I think it’s should be A and B only. Here is my reasoning. By default, when you build a client machine, you don’t need to “configure” it to obtain an IP address – that is its default config, therefore I believe it negates ‘C’ as a valid answer.
However, you do have to authorize the server, and activate the scope after config’ing it.
Let me know what you guys think…
that’s what I think too
it would of been more helpful if you had a screen shot of it would be a lot easier to understand. but you do have to activate a scope.
The correct answer is A,B,C
—> Install DHCP
—> Authorize DHCP in AD
—> create and ACTIVATE scope (you can activate it when you create scope and you can choose “Activate scope later”)
—> Configure the client computers to Obtain an IP address automatically.
Test in lab 🙂
As I understand the installation process of a DHCP server you only need activate scopes if you plan several (more than one) subnets. If there is one subnet there is no need to activate or even create a scope.
As the question does not mention any subnets I’m assuming there is only 1 and therefor the answer I would choose is BC.
When creating a scope by default the wizard will assume you want the scope activated unless you selected NO on Activate scope now.
