Effectively Managing Microsoft DHCP/DNS Services

Since Microsoft introduced Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) services on their Windows 2000/2003 server product lines, it has been successfully marketing support of these mission-critical services at no additional cost. Microsoft's implementation of DHCP and DNS supports the base server-level functions for DHCP/DNS services in a Microsoft environment and works well for many users. However, many have also expressed a need for a complementary IP address management solution to centralize configuration and management of a number of distributed Microsoft DHCP and DNS servers.

If you are utilizing Microsoft DHCP and/or DNS services, INS invites you to attend a webinar on how to complement and effectively manage your Microsoft DHCP/DNS services with centralized management functionality for improved automation, reconciliation and utilization collection.

This third webinar in INS's Strategies and Techniques for Simplifying and Securing Your DNS, DHCP, and IP Infrastructure series will address methods and key benefits of employing centralized IP management strategy to complement your Microsoft DHCP and/or DNS services. INS IP networking experts Dave Champagne and Tim Rooney will discuss:

    » The benefits of complementing your Microsoft DHCP/DNS deployments
        -Consistent, accurate IP inventory
        -Automation of integrated IP allocation, DHCP and DNS configuration tasks
        -Data collection from DHCP/DNS to track address utilization and reconcile configurations
    » Deployment scenarios for Active Directory™ integrated DNS
    » Cost savings opportunities when employing complementary functionality
