Multi-server Management

 

Applies To: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012

This topic contains detailed information and procedures you can use to manage Microsoft DNS and DHCP servers with IPAM. IPAM provides the following options for managing Microsoft DNS and DHCP servers on the network:

Important

Server and zone monitoring is unchanged for IPAM in Windows Server 2012 R2, however several additional options were added to IPAM in Windows Server 2012 R2 for management of: DHCP failover relationships and scopes DHCP server and scope-level policies DHCP superscopes These options for DHCP server and scope management are discussed below in the DHCP server management section with separate topics for IPAM in Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2. Also see DHCP Failover and IPAM for more information about differences in DHCP failover behavior when it is configured using IPAM instead of the DHCP console. For detailed information about how DHCP failover works and how to deploy it, see Understand and Deploy DHCP Failover. For information about DHCP policies, see the DHCP Policy Based Assignment (PBA) Scenario Guide.

DNS and DHCP server monitoring

Click the DNS and DHCP Servers node in the upper navigation pane to quickly view the status of managed DNS and DHCP services. Servers with IPv4 addresses are displayed by default. Use the lower navigation pane to display servers with IPv6 addresses, or to choose a specific IPv4 or IPv6 network. The Server Availability and Duration in Current State fields provide information about the health of DNS and DHCP services.

For example, if the DHCP Server service on a managed DHCP server is Paused or Stopped, this is displayed under Server Availability.

To immediately refresh the status of a server, right-click the server name, click Retrieve Server Data, wait for the ServerAvailability task to complete, and then refresh the console view.

To view when service status was most recently refreshed, view the Last Refreshed field in the display pane details view. You can also add this column to the upper display pane search view (see below). This column is not displayed by default.

If a server is not available due to network problems, it will display a status of Not Reachable for all services that the server provides.

If only some services are not reachable, for example due to permission or firewall settings, then only those services will be Not Reachable.

DNS zone monitoring

Click the DNS Zone Monitoring node in the upper navigation pane to view a list of all zones hosted by managed DNS servers. Forward lookup zones are displayed by default. To view reverse DNS zones, click IPv4 Reverse Lookup or IPv6 Reverse Lookup in the lower navigation pane. The health of reverse lookup zones is not displayed. The lower navigation pane also displays a nested list of forward DNS zones with their associated status icon.

The health of a forward DNS zone is displayed in the Zone Status column next to the Duration in Current State. The zone status is a summary of status for all DNS servers that host the zone. Click the Authoritative Servers tab in the Details View to view a list of authoritative servers.

When a DNS zone is paused, the status of the zone will remain as OK because the DNS server will continue to respond to DNS queries for a paused zone. However, if the DNS Server service on one or more DNS servers is stopped, paused or not responding for another reason, zones hosted by the DNS server will display a status of Error or Warning.

An Error status displays as a red square, and indicates that none of the authoritative DNS servers for the zone are responding to DNS queries.

A Warning status displays as a yellow triangle, and indicates that some of the authoritative DNS servers for the zone are not responding to DNS queries.

Zone status will update periodically with information from scheduled data collection tasks. To update the status of a zone immediately, right-click the zone, click Reset Zone Status, click TASKS, click Retrieve Server Data, and then refresh the console view.

DNS and DHCP record synchronization

The IPAM database is separate from DHCP and DNS servers on your network, and full synchronization of hosts and IP addresses between IPAM and managed DNS or DHCP servers does not occur automatically unless you have configured automated tasks to perform this synchronization.

Because the IPAM database is separate, it can be updated and customized for specific projects and needs without requiring any changes to your network. When you are ready to make these changes, they can be pushed to the network from IPAM. Alternatively, changes on the network can be synchronized to IPAM when you are ready.

Certain automatic Scheduled tasks are performed by IPAM on a regular basis that can affect the IPAM database. These tasks synchronize DNS and DHCP at a scope or zone level, respectively. They do not synchronize individual DHCP and DNS records.

For example, assume the following scenario:

  • A managed DHCP server has a scope with an IP address range of 10.1.1.0/24.

  • A managed DNS server hosts the contoso.com and 1.1.10.in-addr.arpa zones.

  • You wish to create a DHCP reservation, a DNS host (A) record, and a reverse DNS (PTR) record for the IP address 10.1.1.1 corresponding to a fully qualified domain name of IP-phone01.contoso.com.

  • You want the reservation to be created on the DHCP server, and DNS records should be added to the DNS server, but not immediately.

Procedure: You begin adding the information to IPAM. You click IP Address Blocks in the upper navigation pane, click the TASKS menu, and then click Add IP Address. In the Add IP Address dialog box, you complete the required fields, choosing the appropriate Managed by service, Service instance, Reservation server name, Reservation type, Forward lookup zone, Forward lookup primary server, Reverse lookup zone, and Reverse lookup primary server. You enter the Device name, MAC Address, and Client ID and clear any checkboxes to automatically create a DHCP reservation or DNS record if they are available.

Important

When adding an IP address to IPAM, two additional options are available if the IPAM server is running Windows Server 2012 R2: Automatically create DHCP reservation for this IP address and Automatically create DNS records for this IP address. These options are not available if the IPAM server is running Windows Server 2012. By default, the DHCP reservation checkbox is selected, and the DNS records checkbox is cleared. In the scenario described here, both checkboxes are cleared to demonstrate how the IPAM database is separated from managed DHCP and DNS servers.

After clicking OK, the IP address is added to IPAM with the information that is required to create both a DHCP reservation and DNS records.

At this stage, you check the DHCP and DNS servers. Since checkboxes to automatically update DHCP and DNS servers were not selected (or they were not available because the IPAM server is running Windows Server 2012), the new reservation and DNS records are not yet added to DHCP and DNS.

When you are ready to add these records, you right-click the IP address in IPAM and then click Create DHCP Reservation, Create DNS Host Record, and Create DNS PTR Record. Next, you check the DHCP and DNS servers and verify that the new reservation and DNS records now exist.

If IPAM is not synchronized with managed DHCP or DNS servers, you can use the IP ADDRESS SPACE node in the upper navigation pane to manually synchronize DNS and DHCP data in IPAM with data on managed DNS and DHCP servers. The following methods are available:

  1. To import records from managed servers into the IPAM database, see Importing DHCP lease data from the network.

  2. To manually create records in the IPAM database that corresponds to existing data on managed servers, unmanaged servers, and other IP address infrastructure devices, see Add or edit IP address space.

  3. To use IP address data in IPAM to create records on managed servers, see Managing DHCP reservations and Managing DNS records.

DHCP server management

To manage DHCP server properties, click DNS and DHCP Servers in the upper navigation pane. Choose DHCP or DNS and DHCP from the drop-down list next to Server Type, and choose Server properties from the drop-down list next to View. Select one or more DHCP servers in the list, choose IPv4 or IPv6 in the lower navigation pane, and then right-click the selected servers to access DHCP server management options.

Important

DHCP server management is enhanced if the IPAM server is running Windows Server 2012 R2. Additional options that are available in Windows Server 2012 R2 include management of DHCP policies, DHCP failover replication, MAC address filters, and the role-based access scope. More information is provided below.

Use the Policies view instead of Server Properties view to modify or delete an existing policy.

  • Import DHCP Policy imports a server-level DHCP policy from a server that you specify to one or multiple DHCP servers. If a policy with the same name already exists on one or more of the selected DHCP servers, DHCP policy import will fail on these servers. The policy will be imported on any DHCP servers that do not already have a server-level policy with the same name.

  • Add DHCP MAC Address Filter creates a MAC address filter on one or multiple DHCP servers. You can add an allow filter or a deny filter. If a filter for the same MAC address already exists on one or more of the selected DHCP servers, you are notified that the filter cannot be added on these servers. The filter will be added on any DHCP servers that do not already have a filter for the same MAC address.

  • Launch MMC opens the DHCP console to configure a single managed DHCP server. This option is not available when multiple DHCP servers are selected.

  • Activate DHCP Policies causes all DHCP policies on the selected servers to be active. This is the same action as right-clicking a server-level or scope-level policies container in the DHCP console and then clicking Activate. All server-level and scope-level policies are activated.

      All DHCP scope options can be configured simultaneously for multiple scopes.

    • Advanced Properties:

      • Assign IP addresses dynamically to DHCP clients, BOOTP clients, or both

      • Lease duration for BOOTP clients

      • Subnet delay

      All advanced properties can be configured simultaneously for multiple scopes.

  • Duplicate DHCP Scope creates a new scope on a single DHCP server. The new scope is configured with the same DNS dynamic update options, scope options, and advanced properties of the scope that is selected for duplication, however you have the option of changing these values prior to creating the new scope. You must select the DHCP server on which to create the new scope. You are also required to provide a start IP address, end IP address, and subnet mask. DHCP failover relationships are not duplicated.

    Important

    The new DHCP scope will be active by default, even if the original scope was inactive.

  • Create DHCP Reservation enables you to add a new DHCP reservation to the selected scope. This option is not available when multiple scopes are selected. You must specify a name, IP address, client ID, and the reservation type.

  • Add to DHCP Superscope adds one or more DHCP scopes to a superscope. If multiple scopes are selected, they must belong to the same DHCP server. You can create a new superscope using the selected DHCP scopes, or select an existing superscope on the DHCP server.

  • Configure DHCP Failover enables DHCP failover on one or more scopes. If multiple scopes are selected, they must belong to the same DHCP server. You can create a new DHCP failover relationship, or choose an existing relationship.

  • Configure DHCP Policy creates a scope-level DHCP policy for one or more scopes. If a policy with the same name exists in the scope, policy creation will fail for that scope.

  • Import DHCP Policy imports a server-level or scope-level DHCP policy from a DHCP server that you specify to the selected scopes or servers.

  • Activate DHCP Scope activates the selected scopes on managed DHCP servers. All scopes that you select must be inactive to use this option.

  • Deactivate DHCP Scope deactivates the selected scopes on managed DHCP servers. All scopes that you select must be active to use this option.

  • Activate DHCP Policies causes all DHCP policies on the selected scope to be active. This is the same action as right-clicking a scope-level policy container in the DHCP console and then clicking Activate. All policies that apply to this scope are activated. This setting does not override the server-level policy setting. You cannot activate scope-level policies when policies are inactive at the server level. Policies that are in a disabled state are not enabled by this setting.

  • Deactivate DHCP Policies causes all DHCP policies that apply to the selected scope to be inactive. This includes server-level policies that apply to clients that receive an IP address lease from the selected scope. This is the same action as right-clicking the scope-level policies container in the DHCP console and then clicking Deactivate. This setting does not change the enabled or disabled status of policies.

  • Clear Config Sync Error removes the error status from the DHCP failover configuration synchronization state of the selected scopes. You should clear the configuration synchronization error if DHCP failover partners were replicated manually with no errors but the Failover Config Sync Status column in the IPAM console continues to display an error.

  • Replicate DHCP Scope performs a scope replication for the selected DHCP scopes from the selected DHCP server to its failover partner. If one or more of the selected scopes is not enabled for DHCP failover, an error is reported and this scope is skipped. The selected scopes must all be from the same DHCP server.

  • Remove DHCP Failover Configuration deconfigures DHCP failover on one or more scopes by removing them from the failover relationship. The scope is also removed from the DHCP failover partner server.

  • Remove from DHCP Superscope removes one or more scopes from a DHCP superscope.

  • Set Access Scope configures the selected DHCP scopes to be members of an access scope. The access scope must already be configured. By default, all scopes are members of the Global access scope.

  • Delete deletes the selected scopes on managed DHCP servers.
