OPSI with a Windows DHCP server

[huebers]

Hello,

Today we implementated the OPSI server in our Network. But we have 1 problem. The hostname is not assigned by our DHCP server to the clients. Do you know how we could edit our DHCP server to assign dynamically a hostname to the clients.

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

AFAIK it´s not possible to deploy the hostname with DHCP. I was searching a little bit in google at it seems that it´s possbile to deploy hostnames to linux clients by a linux DHCP server.

I hope that i am not mistaking, but I heard this the very first time.

Hi,

to deploy the hostnames via DHCP you will need the line:

Code: Alles auswählen

use-host-decl-names on;

in your dhcpd.conf.

But be aware - there are hundreds different ways how yo may connect DHCP, DNS, hosts, and os on
