Assign a Scope-Based Option

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

You can use this procedure to assign a scope-based option.

Membership in the Domain Admins group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.

To assign a scope-based option

  1. Open DHCP.

  2. In the console tree, click Scope Options.

  3. On the Action menu, click Configure Options.

  4. In the list of available options, select the check box for the first option you want to configure.

  5. Under Data entry, type the information required for this option.

  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for any other server options you want to specify, and then click OK.

  7. In addition, you can click the Advanced tab and specify additional scope options to be applied for members of select user or vendor classes only.

    Options assigned at this level are only provided to clients identified as members of the classes specified on this tab.

Additional considerations

Scope options are inherited as default values for all clients of the applicable scope. Option values you configure here are overridden by any reserved client-based values assigned for the same options.
