Why each option
DHCP is the correct service for automating IP address assignment and management across a large number of hosts in a network.
DNS resolves hostnames to IP addresses but does not assign or manage IP addresses to hosts.
WINS resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses and does not handle IP address assignment or management.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and other network parameters to clients, making it ideal for managing IP configuration across 45+ devices. Without DHCP, each machine would require manual static IP configuration, which is impractical at scale. It is specifically designed for IP lifecycle management in networked environments.
RRAS provides routing and VPN services but has no role in assigning or managing IP addresses for client hosts.
