DHCP Server - Installation and Configuration |
Benefit: Whenever a computer joins the network, DHCP server configures networking in the computer automatically. You can use internet on the computer without configuring network manually. |
DNS server - Installation and Configuration |
Benefit: DNS Server converts domain names (e.g. yourcompany.com.pk) to IP addresses (e.g. 258.186.15.873) so that you can browse a website with domain name instead of IP address of the server. Running DNS Server locally is mandatory for domain environment. |
