    Hi,

    In regards to your issue, here're my suggestions:

    I want to confirm that do you want to deploy a DHCP server in Windows Server 2008 R2 on VMWare Workstation? And the data listed is the specific configurations of your DHCP server?

    If that is your situation, please refer to the following link to install:
