A. B. C. D.B.
In a workgroup, a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server can be used to automatically assign IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and other network configuration parameters to network devices.
The following steps are required to set up a DHCP server in a workgroup:
A. Activate the scopes: Scopes are used to define the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server can assign to devices on the network. After installing the DHCP service, the administrator needs to activate the scopes and define the IP address range.
B. Authorize the server: In a domain environment, the DHCP server must be authorized to assign IP addresses to clients. However, in a workgroup, authorization is not required. Therefore, this step is not necessary.
C. Configure the scopes: After activating the scopes, the administrator needs to configure additional settings such as the lease duration, DNS servers, WINS servers, and DHCP options.
D. Install DHCP service: The DHCP service is a Windows feature that must be installed on the server before it can be used as a DHCP server.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is B. Authorize the server is not required for a DHCP server in a workgroup.
