1. In the DHCP console tree on the left in either the Server Manager or the DHCP
Console, right-click the IPv4 server and click Display Statistics.
2. In the Server Statistics dialog box that opens, click Refresh to show the latest
information. You can see how many requests there have been for IPv4 addresses,
how many are in use, and what percentage of the scope that represents.
3. When you are ready, click Close.
Manage DNS
Managing DNS assumes that DNS has been installed on the server on which you want
it to run. This should have been done earlier in this chapter, under ???Install DNS and
DHCP.??? As with DHCP, you manage DNS from the DNS console, which is opened in
either of two ways:
?–? From Server Manager Click Start | Server Manager. In the console tree on
the left, open Roles | DNS Server | DNS | Server.
?–? From Administrative Tools Click Start | Administrative Tools | DNS. In the
DNS Manager window that opens, in the console tree, open Server.
The remaining steps in this section assume that you have Server opened under the
DNS Server in either the Server Manager or the DNS Manager, as shown in Figure 6-9.
As was described earlier in ???Understand the Domain Name System,??? the purpose of
DNS is to be able to convert IP addresses and domain names, a part of which is a host
name of a particular computer. To do this, DNS breaks the namespace into zones and
provides for each zone a forward lookup table to resolve a domain/host name into an IP
address and a reverse lookup table to resolve an IP address into a host/domain name.
