Hi,

Is it possible to configure Windows DHCP Server to assign IP addresses only to domain-connected pcs?

Thanks.

    Maybe define some policies.

    Hi there,

    Yes, it is possible by creating policies.
    ]The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server role in Windows Server 2012 introduced a new policy-based IP address assignment feature. Policy-based assignment (PBA) allows an administrator to group DHCP clients by specific attributes based on fields contained in the DHCP client request packet.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your help.

    I believe it is not possible to let the DHCP Server check if the client requesting the address is already connected to the domain or not because the client needs to get the IP address first to send the network information? So, the best option is to use a Mac Address-based policy.

    Right?

    Thanks.
