Best Practices Analyzer for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: Prerequisites
Updated: February 15, 2010
Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2
The topics in this section explain how to prepare DHCP for running a Best Practices Analyzer scan for the first time. Content in this section is most valuable to administrators who recently installed DHCP on Windows Server 2008 R2 and who want information about configuration steps or other preparations that must be completed before they can run a Best Practices Analyzer scan on DHCP for the first time.
The Best Practices Analyzer applies prerequisite rules to identify gaps in DHCP configuration or missing roles, role services, or features that must be installed on the computer before administrators can run a Best Practices Analyzer scan on DHCP for the first time.
For more information about Best Practices Analyzer and scans, see Best Practices Analyzer (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=122786).
