Install a DNS Server
Introduction
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a core infrastructure service on any network that provides IP addressing and DNS server information to PC clients and any other device.info
Network Access Protection (NAP) is a Microsoft technology for controlling network access of a computer, based on its health.
Installing Windows Server 2008 DHCP Server
Installing Windows Server 2008 DHCP Server is easy. DHCP Server is now a "role" of Windows Server 2008 - not a windows component as it was in the past.
To do this, you will need a Windows Server 2008 system already installed and configured with a static IP address. You will need to know your network's IP address range, the range of IP addresses you will want to hand out to your PC clients, your DNS server IP addresses, and your you will want to define, and what exclusions you will want to create.
To start the DHCP installation process, you can click Add Roles from the Initial Configuration Task window or from Server Manager - Roles - Add Roles.

When the Add Roles Wizard comes up, you can click Next on that screen.
Next, select that you want to add that DHCP Server Role, and click Next.

If you do not have a static IP address assigned on your server, you will get a warning that you should not install DHCP with a dynamic IP address.
At this point, you will begin being prompted for IP network information, scope information, and DNS information. If you only want to install DHCP server with no configured scopes or settings, you can just click Next through these questions and proceed with the installation.
On the other hand, you can optionally configure your DHCP Server during this part of the installation.
In my case, I chose to take this opportunity to configure some basic IP settings and configure my first DHCP Scope.
I was shown my network connection binding and asked to verify it, like this:

What the wizard is asking is, "what interface do you want to provide DHCP services on"? I took the default and clicked Next.

I opted NOT to use WINS on my network and I clicked Next.
Then, I was promoted to configure a DHCP scope for the new DHCP Server.info

Back in the Add Scope screen, I clicked Next to add new scope (once the DHCP Server is installed).
I chose to Disabled DHCPv6 stateless mode for this server and clicked Next.
Then, I confirmed my DHCP installation Selections (on the screen below) and clicked Install.

After only a few seconds, the DHCP Server was installed and I saw the window, below:
