You are the systems administrator for your company. The network contains a Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003 server. The network also contains a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server installed on a computer named DHCPl that runs Windows Server 2003. DHCPl has a scope that is used to assign IP addresses to users.
You are migrating from Windows SBS 2003 to Windows Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008. You install Windows EBS 2008 in the Windows SBS environment. To enable the Management Server to assign IP addresses to computers that requests an address, you import the configuration settings from DHCPl to the Management Server. You open the DHCP snap-in and navigate to the DHCP scope to verify the settings. You discover that the scope has a red arrow. You want to ensure that users are able to receive IP addresses from the DHCP server.
What should you do?
A.
start the DHCP Server service on the Management Server.
B.
start the DHCP Server service on the Management Server.
C.
Activate the DHCP scope.
D.
Restart the DHCP Server service from Services snap-in.
Explanation:
You should activate the DHCP scope. When migrating from Windows SBS 2003 to Windows EBS 2008, you must migrate the DHCP server configuration settings if a DHCP server exists in your current Windows SBS environment. After migrating the DHCP server configuration settings to the Management Server, you should verify if the settings are configured correctly on the Management Server. If you discover a red arrow beside the scope icon in the DHCP server snap-in, it indicates that the scope needs to be activated. To activate the DHCP scope, you should right-click the scope icon and click the Activate option. Next, you should refresh the scope by right-clicking the scope icon and selecting the Refresh option.You should not authorize the DHCP server. If you discover a red arrow beside the DHCP server icon in the DHCP server snap-in, it indicates that the DHCP server needs to be authorized. To authorize the DHCP server, you should right-click the server icon, click the Authorize option, and then refresh the server. However, the scenario states that the red arrow is indicated next to the scope, not the DHCP server icon.
You should not start the DHCP Server service on the Management Server or restart the DHCP Server service from Services snap-in because performing these steps will not correct the problem stated in this scenario. A red arrow beside a scope does not signify that the DHCP Server service is stopped. To check the status of any service, you should view the service status in the Services snap-in. Restarting the DHCP Server service is only necessary if the service has been stopped or paused.
