| The database is in \winnt\system32\dhcp but I haven't seen the
structure documented...

The DHCP APIs are in DHCPSAPI.DLL, undocumented to the outside world
I think. I also wanted to do some DHCP stuff but ended up using the
DHCP toolson the resource kit to do the things I wanted.
It uses a number of calls:
DhcpGetClientInfo
DhcpAddSubnetElement
DhcpServerGetConfig
and more...

| 3193.3 | did you manage? | ULYSSE::BALLETTA | | Tue Feb 25 1997 11:25 | 25 |
| Justyn,
Did you manage to accomplish anything? Did you document the use of the DLL?
My intention is to build a tool that allows to handle all addresses of a network via the
DHCP server, even for equipment like mainframe and others that do not (yet) have a DHCP
client implemented.
The idea is to build a nice GUI that helps the Network Manager to perform either of
two functions:
* interrogate the DHCP database for the first available address out of a scope and then
use the DHCP Mangaer to reserve the previously obtained IP address, or
* to interrogate the database and then write into it, basically behaving like a DHCP
server for nodes without the DHCP client.
A colleague suggested to interface with the DHCP Server via the API.
This wouldn't work in all cases since the DHCP server determine the sub-net address
(which will tell it the scope to look at) from the incoming packet which in the case
of one application would not change between any two instances.
Can anybody suggest a Microsoft channel where to ask to?

| You may want to look here for a public implementation of DHCP for
UNIX systems.

| 3193.5 | the MS DHCP server use JET to access the database, but what about the database structure? | ULYSSE::BALLETTA | | Wed Feb 26 1997 11:28 | 6 |
| Thanks for your pointer. The article is very useful but obviously does not
talk about the structure of the database of the Microsoft implemented
DHCP server which is an internal matter.
The only thing I know about the database is that the DHCP server
uses JET to access it, but that tells me nothing about its internal structure.

RE: .5
Make a copy of the file and open with Access?
