Follow me and learn Windows Server 2012 – IP Address Management (IPAM)

Hi, its Bruce again, Day 19 - Wow so much to learn! Tonight I am learning IP Address Management (IPAM). IPAM is a new feature that allows us to manage DHCP and DNS servers centrally. Here are some facts I learned about IPAM

• IPAM provides centralized configuration and update of MS DHCP/DNS servers
• Automatic discovery of DC, DHCP and DNS servers, and dynamic IP addresses in use
• Organize, assign, monitor and manage static and dynamic IPv4/v6 addresses
• Track and audit changes and provide real-time view of status
• Monitor DNS zone health
• The ability to Manage DHCP scopes properties on multiple scopes at the same time
• Find and replace DHCP properties values on multiple scopes at the same time
• Integration with ADDS
• IPAM has PowerShell interfaces
• SCVMM Integration

Below are some links to help you learn about this great new feature!
