Best Practices Analyzer for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: Prerequisites
Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2
The topics in this section explain how to prepare DHCP for running a Best Practices Analyzer scan for the first time. Content in this section is most valuable to administrators who recently installed DHCP on Windows Server 2008 R2 and who want information about configuration steps or other preparations that must be completed before they can run a Best Practices Analyzer scan on DHCP for the first time.
