Hi i have installed dhcp server in windows server 2008 R2 enterprise edition with AD and DNS. I wanted to configure a scope so that ip address is assigned based on Users Login id means using domain user id. i know that we can bind ip address with mac id but i want to assign ip using user names. is it possible regards devang

As far as I know, what you are asking is not possible.I do not represent the organisation I work for, all the opinions expressed here are my own. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

I don't think that is possible. For a user to log in and authenticate against a domain controller, the client computer must have a working network interface along with a valid IP address. You can, however, reserve an IP address in DHCP for a dedicated host, but not for a user.

Hello, this is NOT possible. DHCP works during startup of computers BEFORE users logon. And the process is machine triggered as the workstation broadcasts for a DHCP lease and a DHCP server will offer this, so the client can use it or not.Best regards Meinolf Weber MVP, MCP, MCTS Microsoft MVP - Directory Services My Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/ Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.
