DHCP server options

[Deep_Thought]

Hi all,
I have a client who is migrating to an Apple Mac server. They need to run DHCP locally as they are in a serviced building. As Apple have removed DHCP from the latest Server app, what are the alternatives? Not interested in Linux options - hopefully there is something similar like DNS Enabler for DHCP?

Thanks

Yep Apple removed The DHCP selection in the current server selections! So you have to do it manually!

But in general, at this point for an all-Mac environment, I'd recommend running DHCP on a piece of network equipment like a firewall.

I think you can get dhcpd from brew, give it a try.

I would need the dhcp server to update hostnames in the DNS server. My FIOS router doesn't do that.

Sadly he hasn't made a DHCP Enabler yet, hopefully one day!
