DHCP and WINS Administration from Windows NT 3.5 Workstation

This article was previously published under Q130960

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) administration can be performed from a Microsoft Windows NT 3.5x or 4.0 workstation by installing the client server tools (located on the Windows NT Server CD in the \CLIENTS\SRVTOOLS\WINNT directory).

Upon successful completion of the client server tools, you may create icons for the DHCP and WINS Manager applications. Running WINS Manager requires Administrator, Server Operator, or Account Operator privileges for the server that is being configured. Only one administrator can work with a particular WINS server at a time. When WINS Manager is running, a server can be selected by either selecting a WINS server name appearing in the WINS Manager Window, or by choosing Add WINS Server from the Server Menu. DHCP administration is performed by starting DHCP Manager, choosing Add from the Server menu, and typing a DNS name or IP address of the desired DHCP server.
