Windows will not get a DHCP address from my OS X Server

Is there a trick I need to do to get my windows machines to get and address from my OS X Server?

i have had the same issue. Windows clients (XP, 2003, 7) just could not receive an address from the dhcp server.
I think i got it solved by removing an invalid line in my dhcp server config file.
This is what i did:
stop dhcp server
open /etc/bootpd.plist (you need admin rights to edit)
remove the following two lines:
<key>dhcp_domain_name</key>
<string></string>
save file
start dhcp server again
alternatively, you can fill the dhcp_domain_name with a valid domain name suffix. Both options seem to have worked just fine for me.
<key>dhcp_domain_name</key>
<string>whatever.mydomain.com</string>
Tips:
I am using Sublime Text for such tasks. It asks for administrator password when trying to save the file, much more convinient than trying to use TextEdit
To get to the /etc directory from your favorite text editor easily: Go to the standard open file dialog. Press Cmd+Shift+G. Type /etc and press enter
also see the official documentation:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man8/bootpd.8.html
dhcp_domain_name
The default DNS domain name (option code 15). If this property is not
present, the server will supply its own default domain name (if available).

OS X 10.6.7 not getting reserved DHCP address from router.

I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.7
My router is NetGear WGT624v3. I have the router setup to assign out reserved DHCP address for my Macs.
I am not getting the reserved address, but rather "any" address in the pool.
Other types of devices are getting the reserved address. For example, old windows computers, and my Android phone. Only the Mac computers seem to be getting the incorrect addresses.
Any ideas please?
Duane

As long as it shows up in the Windows Boot Camp control panel I'd say fine, happened to a lot of people - I have not had Windows 7 show in Mac Startup Disk control panel for years in my Mac Pro.

Cannot get a DHCP address from my ISP

I just got a WRT54G router, I managed to configured it all. I can ping any computers on the network. What I cannot do is get my DHCP address from my isp, meaning that I can't connect to internet.
I am 100% sure that my ISP address was given by a DHCP server since that's how it was configured on my old router before it got smashed into pieces.
I have the latest firmware upgrade for the router (version 6) and it is correctly plugged in my modem.
What is strange is that couple of hours ago, I managed to get an address for about 15 minutes, then it dropped and I have not been able to pick a new one anymore, no matter what I do.
Anyone can help me?

Alright, but how do I do that?
Disconnect the power cord.
Or if its a telephony modem, hold the reset button until it reboots.

Windows 8.1 will not get Forefront Client Updates from WSUS

Recently I noticed that my Windows 8.1 clients were not getting updates from WSUS 3.2. After some searching I found it was an issue with HTTPS and the solution was to disable HTTPS or enable TLS. So I enabled TLS on the Server 2008 R2 WSUS server
and that fixed the issue with my 8.1 clients not getting updates except for Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010. My SCCM server deploys the client fine but it is version 2.1 and normally the client and definition updates come from WSUS with the
latest client version being 4.5. However, my Windows 8.1 machines will not get the client updates even though they are automatically approved for all machines.
I am just wondering what else I can check or change to make sure my Windows 8.1 clients get the Forefront client updates as they should?? I am wondering if I manually install the 4.1 client update if it will take the client updates after that.
I only have about eight Windows 8.1 machines so if I have to do that by hand for now then I will and I think my organization will be moving to Server 2012 and SCCM 2012 this summer sometime.

I reread your post and have another suggestion. If your SCCM 2007 server is still deploying the old 2.1 FEP client version, then you should install the latest anti-malware platform update for the SCCM server so you can deploy it from there instead of WSUS:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2952678
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/minfangl/archive/2013/08/15/guidance-on-install-anti-malware-platform-updates-for-fep-2010-su1-and-scep-2012-sp1.aspx
Also, you may be affected by this:
"Anti-malware platform updates on MU will use special detection logic and applicability rules to make the anti-malware platform updates available only on computers with previous N-2 anti-malware platforms installed. For example, on April 8<sup>th</sup>,
anti-malware platform of version 4.5.x will be released on MU, and it will only be offered to computers where anti-malware platform version 4.3.x or 4.4.x is available. If a computer has FEP or SCEP client with version 4.1.x, it has to be upgraded to version
4.3.x first, then to the latest version (4.5.x). If a computer has FEP or SCEP client with version older than 4.1.x, because of the same N-2 rule, it has to be upgraded to 4.1.x first, then to 4.3.x, and then to the latest version (4.5.x). Required updates
will be kept on MU to ensure that this upgrade process is available for computers running older versions of the Microsoft anti-malware platform."

Slingbox Pro can't get a DHCP address from my WRT310N router

Reset my Slingbox and on my router Dhcp table I see a dhcp address for 58 seconds but the slingbox network light keeps flashing. Then the address disappears and the slingbox network light continues to flash. Have tried changing the router, same issue.

You can try this link and follow the steps, i think it will help you in fixing your problem.
If possible connect a different Cat5 Cable from your Router to the Slingbox.

Mail will not send out e-mails from my gmail smtp server

I am using Mail to send and receive e-mails. I have 3 different accounts that I use, of which two are GMail acounts. These two acounts receive e-mails as normal, but upon replying or otherwise sending out e-mail it refuses to send. It appears that the SMTP server is offline. I have re-entered my credentials etc, but this did not fix the problem. Can anyone help me to get over this annoying issue?

WRT54G2 V1 Fails to get WAN DHCP address

Hi All,
I have a new WRT54G2 V1 that works fine, with the exception it will not pickup a DHCP address from the cable modem. I have gone through the standard steps assuring the modems, cables and computers work on other setups and have no issues there.
The wireless and hub portions of the G2 work as usual. I flashed the firmware to the latest FW_WRT54G2V1_1.0.04.005_US and there is no change in operation, also the G2 responds correctly to a full reset to factory settings.
On the router's reboot the WAN light comes on briefly (assume self-test), but remains off after the router is fully booted.
Have I forgotten something obvious, or is this an out-of-the-box failure ?
Cheers,

Once more step which you can try is, connect the Ethernet cable to the LAN Port 1 and the other end of that cable to the Internet Port of the Router and then check if the WAN light on your Router lids or not...
If it still doesn't lid, then i think it might be the problem with the Router itself, and you need to replace your Router.

Hyper-V - Legacy NIC not getting DHCP address at boot, but when OS loads the NIC gets a DHCP address

Hi, I have a strange issue with DHCP.
I have a lab environment on a single Hyper-v 2012 Server. AD, DNS & DHCP exist on a single virtual machine, I have a flat network 192.168.1.x, all VM's are on this network. I have authorised DHCP and Setup the scope.
A VM has a legacy adaptor, the legacy nic is configured in the boot order as the first device.
When I boot the machine I do not get a DHCP address, however when the OS boots the Legacy NIC then gets a DHCP address??
I need to use a legacy NIC as I need to PXE boot the VM, however I should get an IP address at boot time, which I don't get.
I have run Wireshark on the DHCP server, I can see the legacy NIC do a "DHCP Discover and the DHCP Server respond with a DHCP Offer" however all communication ends there. I have disable all firewalls and I see no reason for this not to work.
I have done tis before with no issues but I am unable to get this to work on this server!!!!!

Hi
According to your description , it is recommended to make sure or do :
        In your environment , there is no any other valid DHCP, BOOTP or proxy DHCP offers.
        Make sure if the DHCP server is overload.
        So suggest to test that creating a new “internal virtual switch” and change the settings of VM which provide DHCP service to connect to the new “virtual switch”.
        Then create a new VM use legacy NIC also connect to the new “internal virtual switch” and try to PXE Boot.
Hope this helps.

Lion Server not handing out DHCP addresses to Snow Leopard client

I have been pulling my hair out over this.
Here is the layout
Lion Server running on the newest Mac Mini and doing mail, DNS, DHCP, Software update and has a valid, not self assigned, certificate
3 clients running Lion Desktop (2 iMACs and a MBP pro (all no more that a year old and all woth the current updates)
1 client running Snow Leopard Desktop (last years 13 inch MBA)
The 3 Lion clients can get dhcp fro mthe Lion server without any issue
The SL client cannot get a DHCP address from the Lion server
A tcpdump shows the DHCP request coming from the MAC address of the SL client but no response from the Lion Server and nothing showing a deny in the logs for the DHCP server or any other system/kernel logs. The Lion clients all show the request and reply for them. All 4 clients currently have a static assignment in DHCP but even if I remove them all and do auto-assign for everything or even each one individually, the SL client will not get an address both on the Wifi and Ethernet (I have the USB ethernet adapter).
I also have an Aiport Extreme and if I use that for the DHCP server then all clients get the addresses. I know the DHCP server in the extreme cannot be shut down but if you give the extreme a static address then assign dhcp on the extreme to only give out one address and that is the same one that is statically assigned then it "thinks" it is out of addresses and no longer tries to assign addresses
At first I thought there was a conflict between the extreme and the Lion server but as I mentioned above, tcpdump clearly shows the requests going right to the Lion server
I'm usually pretty good at this kind of thing but this one has me stumped. I'm thinking bug, anyone else run into this yet?

I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
i am sure there is a simple way round this?
thanks guys!

Windows Server 2012 - Backup failing with Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed

Hi
We have a Windows 2012 server with Exchange 2013, all is working fine except now i am getting issues with the backup.
'Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed for the component Microsoft Exchange Server'
I have checked the database all is fine, i have created a new db and move all mailbox;s over and then removed the old db, i have enabled circular logging and then disabled it, it seems no matter what i do i cannot get a full backup!
i did have to restore the server once and the backups still worked for about 4 days after that and then stopped, i have also tried to remove and re add the backup role!
i am stumped, any advice would be great!

Hi
Ok, i created a test db and tried to back it up right away, it failed, i did not add any mailbox's to it either. i got quite a few events in the windows logs, as well as the same event above i got the following:

AVAYA IP Phones unable to get an IP address from DHCP server.

I installed new SRW208P switch and I mada an uplink connection with SRW 2024 switch (using GE port).
when I am trying to connect AVAYA IP Phone to the SRW208P port, the set trying to get an IP address from the DHCP server and failed to get it.
some times after 10 minutes, it get the IP address, but all the machines (PCs) connected to the same switch (SRW208P) hange.
Note: the PCs an IP Phones are connected with separate UTP cables to the access switch.
Is there any suggestions to solve this issue, please.
Regards,

The issue is that your machine is not being assigned an IP address / was unable to reach the DHCP server to receive one. The 169.254.x.x IP your machine is showing isn't assigned from DHCP, it's assigned by the local machine and is referred to as an APIPA
address.
So something is preventing your machine from reaching your DHCP server, which could one of a number of things. In the first instance I'd suggest having a look at
http://epan36.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/eventid-1001-dhcp-your-computer-was-not.html which lists several of things that could cause this error and things you can try in order to resolve it.
If none of those work, can you confirm whether you have any other machines connecting via the same method on the network, which might indicate whether this is an issue at the machine end or somewhere between the machine and DHCP server?

Station is not receiving an IP address from DHCP

Hello guys,
I have an ASA 5505 functioning as a router to connect to the Internet. Also, it is my DHCP server for my clients, and APs. When I connect my laptop to the ASA, I get an IP address and able to configure my WLC. The APs also receives an IP address from the ASA. However, when I connect to the AP wirelessly as a wireless client, my laptop is not receiving an IP address from the DHCP which is my ASA.
Here is my topology:

Hello jsnyder81,
I have another question. This is still related to the same network.
I am able to connect to the wireless network now, and receiving IP address from the ASA 5505; however, I can only ping my wireless gateway. I also don't have access to the Internet.
