You need to have an Active Directory domain in place. I'm picking up where I left off in my previous blog article Use PowerShell to Create a New Active Directory Forest on Windows 2019 Server Core Installation (no-GUI).

The procedure shown in this blog article is for demonstration purposes only.

Install the DHCP server feature.

1Install-WindowsFeature -Name DHCP

Add the DHCP scope to the server.

1Add-DhcpServerv4Scope -Name '192.168.129.x' -StartRange 192.168.129.101 -EndRange 192.168.129.199 -SubnetMask 255.255.255.0

Options can either be set at the scope level.

1Set-DhcpServerv4OptionValue -ScopeID '192.168.129.0' -DNSServer 192.168.129.100 -DNSDomain mikefrobbins.com -Router 192.168.129.1

Or at the server level.

1Set-DhcpServerv4OptionValue -DNSServer 192.168.129.0 -DNSDomain mikefrobbins.com -Router 192.168.129.1
