It should be the IP address of the Windows server so if you've configured DHCP properly, this is the DNS server address clients will automatically receive when they get their IP config info from DHCP.ĭHCP assigns IP addresses to computers that need them, because they don't have a static IP address configured. You can doublecheck the settings by going to the Scope Options on the DHCP server and look to see which IP address is set for 006 DNS servers. Unless you have a WINS server running, you don't need to configure that.
It sounds like you configured DNS properly in the wizard, as long as the primary DNS address is the IP address of the Windows server. Then, on the DHCP server, make sure the range of IP addresses it hands out does not include the IP address for the server. The DNS on the router still needs to point to public DNS servers. If you decide to use the Windows server for DHCP, set the router to provide static IP addresses - in this case, have it provide one IP address, for the Windows server. Then, in the client machines, configure the DNS server to point to the IP address of the Windows server, and make sure the DNS on the router points to a public DNS server or servers - or else no one will be able to resolve anything on the Internet. The router will provide the IP addresses don't configure the router to provide DNS configuation for the clients. If you decide to let the router provide DHCP configuration, uninstall the DHCP role on the server. The situation you described is due to the fact that the client is getting it's IP address from the router, not the server. Use either the router or the server for DHCP - otherwise, both will start handing out IP addresses and configuration info, which will cause confusion on your network. If your router is set to serve as a DHCP server and the Windows Server is also providing the DHCP service, that would be a problem.

Does this sound like the problem? I can't seem to find out how to change it. I did some searching but I can't seem to find a way to get it to point to my server instead of the router. There, it said the DNS address was set to the server but the DHCP address was set to a different IPv4 address (my router). While I was trying your suggestions, on a client machine, when I was right-clicking the network adapter, I went to status instead of properties. I still can't get the clients to connect but believe I may have found the problem. Is that the same thing you're talking about? Is there a way to change these settings after the role is already installed? I ended up just reinstalling it and in the wizard I made sure the IPv4 addresses were set to the same as the server when it was asking for default DNS, DHCP, WINS. I don't know how to change the DHCP server's settings to provide clients with the specified proper DNS address that points to the server (I'm assuming you mean the same IPv4 address of the server described in the comment to Sneakycyber above?). Let me know if you meant something different.īC Advisor: Thanks for the suggestion and I'm not sure if it didn't work or not. Then I went to network connections on the client, right-clicked the network adapter and clicked properties, highlighted IPv4 and clicked properties again, then i clicked "use the following DNS server" and typed in the server's IPv4 address. I went to server command prompt and typed ipconfig and found its IPv4 address. Sneakycyber: Thanks for the suggestion but I believe this didn't work. Thanks in advance for you time and concern. How should I go about solving this problem? I'd describe what I've tried already but, being someone who's never installed a server before, I'd like to see how you gurus go about troubleshooting something like this and also what you have to say about it. I've tried multiple things that have worked for other people and they're not working for me. I've done so many searches and tried so many different things that I ran out of things to try. I'm totally stuck at solving this problem and I've been stuck for weeks now.

The problem I'm having is when I go to connect client machines to the domain (I've tried with a Windows 7 client and a Windows 8.1 client) I get the following error: Then I added the roles: Active Directory Domain Services, DHCP, and DNS. I installed the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system on the machine. I'm trying to get a windows server machine up and running for the first time.
