Query the DHCP server via .NET - how?

Hi

Anyone know a way I can (via .NET) query my dhcp server and enumerate
all the scopes defined within?

Been looking to no avail - it would appear a couple of guys asked this
very question fairly recently and received no response. I hope this
doesn't mean it's impossible !

I have the DHCP mmc snap-in - been through the .net framework
documentation looking for some way to leverage that to no avail.

TIA

AW :)

It would have to expose some sort of API or interface for you to hook into.
Have you checked the RFC for DHCP to see if there are calls or commands that
can be sent directly to the server? I know that I have never had a need for
this and as a result, I haven't looked into it.

Here is a link to the RFC.

Does anyone know if VB has an exposed API that can be used to query DHCP for current address leases? I have seen threads that discuss DHCPObj.dll and have successfully used it. However, this only exposed the server's configuration, not the current address leases. I was also able to track down an interface that is exposed to C, but 1.) already have a lengthy app written in VB and 2.) don't know enough about C to write my own dll to do...

Hello, I'm working on an application to allow our network team to use a small application to make DHCP reservations on our Microsoft DHCP Server. The problem is you have to use P/Invoke to do it, and from what I've found on the web and in this newsgroup is that it's not easy, however I believe it can/has been done. At the moment I'm just trying to find out information about an existing

Hi, I had to rename a DHCP server running Windows 2003 in an Active Directory environment. I also change the IP of the server. Now when I open the DHCP console and I want to add that dhcp server from the authorized DHCP server list, that server still shows with the "Old" name. When I click on it to add it, it tries to connect to the server with the "old" name and the "old" IP address. How can I make the changes that I made reflect in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
