I am currently working as a Senior Field Consultant. I started my professional career in 1999 in India. In the year 1999 I decided to transition from the Retail Industry to hard core Information Technology, which was always my strength and desire. I realised my strengths and keen interest when I worked on Dbase III Plus a few years back but due to various constraints I could not pursue my career at that point in time. I have worked in various capacities in the fields of Software Technology, as Systems administrator, Systems Support Engineer, Implementations Engineer and Senior Implementation Engineer. Currently, I am based as Senior Field Consultant for a Microsoft Gold Partner in Oxford, U.K.
I am certified in various disciplines

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers (i.e., a scope) configured for a given network.
When a computer uses a static IP address, it means that the computer is manually configured to use a specific IP address. One problem with static assignment, which can result from user error or inattention to detail, occurs when two computers are configured with the same IP address. This creates a conflict that results in loss of service. Using DHCP to dynamically assign IP addresses minimizes these conflicts.
To start the DHCP installation process, you can click Add Roles from the Initial Configuration Tasks window or from Server Manager Roles > Add Roles.
When the Add Roles Wizard comes up, you can click Next on that screen.
Next, select that you want to add the DHCP Server Role, and click Next.

I have taken this opportunity to configure some basic IP settings and configure my first DHCP Scope.
Click Next > 
Next, enter Primary & Secondary DNS Servers (as you see above)
Note: I have not entered any ip is the alternate dns simply because I only have a single DC right currently.
Click Next >
I dont use WINS on my network and I clicked Next
Configure your scope details according to your network.
Click next >
Account with permission in AD.
Click Next >
Done
Verify your configuration by opening your DHCP server. You can now carry on creating further scopes if your
network has more than 1 vlan or you can modify the settings configured earlier.
Configure a client pc to obtain ip address.
go to command prompt Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig /all
You will see tha a ip address has been allocated by the new scope to this client pc.
Good Luck
