Your duties at Cer-tech.com include the installation and configuration of Windows Small Business Server 2003. At present the Cer tech.com network contains the following computers: 1 Windows Small Business Server 2003 domain controller 2 Windows Server 2003 workstations 30 Windows XP Professional client workstations. One of the Windows Server 2003 workstations named Server01 is configured as a DHCP server and the 30 Windows XP Professional workstations are all configured as DHCP clients. A singular scope is identified on Server01 containing 60 IP addresses, 172.17.55.11 through 172.17.55.70. You add 20 Windows XP Professional workstations to the domain and configure them as DHCP clients. You received a couple of complaints from the Cer-tech.com users stating that they are unable to log on to the network. To this end you investigate and find that a DHCP Jet database error was generated in the Event Log on Server01.Thus the users experiencing the problems are due to the fact that there were no IP addresses delivered to their particular workstations. You receive instruction from the Manager to make sure that the DHCP server is operational by allowing the DHCP server to assign TCP/IP configuration information. What should you do?
