Notes

  • To open DHCP, click Start, click Settings, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click DHCP.

  • This procedure describes how to specify the path DHCP uses when storing the database on the applicable DHCP server. It does not set the path used by DHCP when you back up a database with the Backup command.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
