Windows Server 2019: DHCP and DNS

Course details

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is the system that automatically assigns IP addresses to hosts, and Domain Name System (DNS) resolves fully qualified domain names to IP addresses. If you're a network administrator charged with managing a Microsoft network environment, then it's essential that you have a solid understanding of both of these networking services. In this course, Ed Liberman dives into DHCP and DNS, explaining how they work in the context of a Windows Server 2019 environment. Learn how to install, configure, and manage a DHCP server, as well as how to deploy DNS. Plus, explore name resolution in enterprise networks, including how to configure standard and conditional DNS forwarding.
