Hi there,

Im looking for Information about how to set up the Windows 2003 Server so that it can control multiple scopes. I have been playing around with it for a few hours, and Its easy enough to set up the scopes etc, but my problem is that I need a specific Scope to be applyed to a specific department.

I.e:

192.168.100.x goes to place 1

192.168.101.x goes to place 2

192.168.103.x goes to place 3 etc

it would be easy enough to get it done if it was all one big IP pool, but since we have 18 departments spread over the contry, and our network is made so that each city has their own IP address, then I´d like the DHCP server to give out addresses like we do atm with the local Routers.

The other option there is, is to place a DHCP server in each city but that's the thing im trying not to.

Is this possibel at all?

Thanks in Advance

DHCP User Classes

How to Create a New DHCP User or Vendor Class

There's a tutorial on how to set it up here:

The Lazy Admin: DHCP User Classes

That should get you where you want to be.

Thanks alot, it works!

Now, a good question from a co. worker. We have alot of sales personel who roams the diffrent locations with their laptop. Will those laptops be able to obtain a DHCP that is correct if their ClassID is named City1 and are visiting City2 ? If not then this wont work too well

Create a 4th user class for the (roaming) laptops as follows

Address range 192.168.102.x - 192.168.102.x

Subnet Mask 255.255.248.0

Def GW 192.168.100.1 and 192.168.101.1 and 192.168.103

Which should allow them to function on any of the subnets.
