Should DHCP and DNS be on the same server?

The short answer is that yes you can run all three roles (Active Directory Domain Services, DNS and DHCP) on the same server without any problems.

Why would you disable DHCP?

DHCP means Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol it is a service which assigns ip addresses automatically to devices which are connected in the network and requests for an ip. So if you disable DHCP in your router your devices will not get ip addresses and they will not be able to communicate in the network.

What happens if you don’t have DHCP?

If a DHCP server fails or goes offline, network communications can quickly break down. Without DHCP, you’d need to go to each computer and manually assign it an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and other network settings.

Should I have DHCP enabled?

IMPORTANT: The IP Address has to be within the DHCP Reservation range. This is because you cannot set an IP reservation outside the DHCP range. QUICK TIP: The DHCP Server should be enabled because disabling it will make your router work as a switch, allowing only one (1) computer to have Internet access.

Should DHCP be installed on a domain controller?

Domain controllers do not require the DHCP Server service to operate and for higher security and server hardening, it is recommended not to install the DHCP Server role on domain controllers, but to install the DHCP Server role on member servers instead.

How does DHCP work with DNS?

The DHCP service can use DNS in two ways: The DHCP server can look up the host name that is mapped to an IP address that the server is assigning to the client. The DHCP server can attempt to make a DNS mapping on a client’s behalf, if the DHCP server is configured to update DNS.
