Hi there,

You probably have the DHCP console installed on your Domain Controller but are running the DHCP server on a different server. Run ipconfig /all from a DHCP client and see what it lists for a DHCP Server.

And also you only need to add a new dhcp scope if you have added a new network segment that is using that IP range.
You cannot just add the scope and have it shared with another on the same network segment

Hi @

A couple of suggestions:

Try restarting the dhcp service, then relaunch the console and see if the range shows up

Are you sure that the scope existed previously?

Does the desktop scope overlap the server range you are trying to entry?
