DHCP scope based on device MAC address

[mvr]

Hello,
I would like to know how can I setup DHCP on Server a 2003, to assign IP address based on MAC address of the device.

Hi,
on the clients select to get address automatically from a DHCP server (Network adapter, TCP/IP properties). It's default so probably you do not need to do anything on the client.

Next note the MAC address of the client (open cmd, ipconfig /all, Physical Address)

Then open the DHCP admin and add a new reservation where you assign a particular IP address to the MAC address.

Lastly release/renew DCHP on the client.
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

If you want to filter by MAC address - read this: http://blogs.technet.com/b/teamdhcp/archive/2007/10/03/dhcp-server-callout-dll-for-mac-address-based-filtering.aspx
