Managing Clients
Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2
Client computers must be configured properly to work with the DNS servers that the clients rely on for resolving network names. You can configure client computers to receive their network addresses from Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers, or you can configure them with fixed addresses. You can also configure clients with additional settings to improve their ability to locate network hosts and to be located by them.
