Welcome to the
World of Linux Server Management, Windows Server Management, Kernel Programming, Ethical Hacking, Cloud Solutions, Vmware Vsphere
ESXi, Xen Servers, Server hardening, Server administration etc.,
Like the installation, managing Windows Server 2008 DHCP Server is also easy. Back in my Windows Server 2008 Server Manager,
under Roles, I clicked on the new DHCP Server entry.

While I cannot manage the DHCP Server scopes and clients from here, what I can do is to manage what events, services, and resources are
related to the DHCP Server installation. Thus, this is a good place to go to check the status of the DHCP Server and what events have
happened around it.
However, to really configure the DHCP Server and see what clients have obtained IP addresses, I need to go to the DHCP Server MMC. To do
this, I went to Start Administrative Tools DHCP Server, like this:

CloudStack vs OpenStack
In: Cloudstack, Openstack

First of all, let us take a look at Google Trends and


compare amount of search queries for OpenStack
and CloudStack. Obviously, OpenStack is attracting
more attention (red CloudStack; blue OpenStack).

The DHCP Server MMC offers IPv4 & IPv6 DHCP Server info including all scopes, pools, leases, reservations, scope options, and server options.

OpenStack has much wider community and tons of


related articles. There are installation how-tos for all
the major Linux distributions and all []

If I go into the address pool and the scope options, I can see that the configuration we made when we installed the DHCP Server did, indeed,
work. The scope IP address range is there, and so are the DNS Server & default gateway.

So how do we know that this really works if we do not test it? The answer is that we do not. Now, lets test to make sure it works.

Performance Tuning Script

How do we test our Windows Server 2008 DHCP Server?


To test this, I have a Windows Vista PC Client on the same network segment as the Windows Server 2008 DHCP server. To be safe, I have no
other devices on this network segment.

I did an IPCONFIG /RELEASE then an IPCONFIG /RENEW and verified that I received an IP address from the new DHCP server, as you can see

Apachetuner.sh is one of the best available apache

This is mostly compatible with the Redhat and
