Symptom: On a DHCP enabled network, workstation cannot obtain IP from DHCP server but DHCP server are working fine.
Cause: Windows DHCP Service failed to start
Solution: Check for DHCP Client Services permission
- Open Services.msc from run prompt and find “DHCP Client”
- Right click > properties > log on tab
- Check and remember the logon user
- Open registry editor (regedit) from run prompt
- Go to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCP, right click > permissions and set full control permissions for user in 1.B
- Go to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP, right click > permissions and set full control permissions for user is 1.B
- Restart workstation and test
Hope this helps, cheers 🙂
