DHCP server not permitting IP reservations

No one has been able to provide an answer on this as yet.
I've setup a new Win srv 2003 Std Ed as a DC. AD, DHCP and
DNS have been installed. I created a new scope under DHCP
and entered my IP exclusions. When I went to add a
reservation, the opt to create a reservation for a client
does not exist off of the Action menu. I also
do not see any options that allow me to go back and make
changes to the DHCP scope such as adding more exclusions.
The System Log shows no problems and the DHCP Authorizes
without issue. At present my DHCP tree show two nested
levels. The first being the srvname.domain.com
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the next nested level is
titled "Server Options" which contains various "Scope
Options".

I have been unable to locate any reason for the missing
options. Any thoughts? Thanks

Don

From your description of how your tree looks in the DHCP
tool, I wonder if you successfully finished creating the
scope. The tool should show a top level that is your
server name; the second nested level should contain TWO
things at minimum - a folder for the scope and a folder
for server options. If all you have is server options
then your scope didn't get made.

Or maybe I mis-read your problem.

Steve,

Thanks for the response.

At present the structure appears as:
- DHCP
- Srvname.domain.com(IP Address)
- Server Options

The Srvname.domain.com(IP Address) is the first nested
level under DHCP and Server Options is nested under
Srvname.domain.com(IP Address). The structure appears to
be as your describing.

If I delete the current scope will I have to redo my DNS?
Any other thoughts as to why the missing option to add an
IP Reservation and the inability to modify DHCP Scope
such as adding Exclusions?

Thanks,
Don
