DHCP Relay agent provides the IP address in to the remote network. A DHCP relay agent
is network device configured specifically to relay DHCP traffic to a nearby DHCP server.
Essentially, you must have a DHCP Relay agent or DHCP server on every network
segment where DHCP client computer reside. In Windows Server 2008, the DHCP Relay
agent is enabled in the Routing and Remote access Server Role. Note that a computer
cannot be configured as both a DHCP server and a DHCP relay agent. The DHCP Relay
agent is, essentially, a routing protocol that is installed on an appropriate device.
Typically, a router is set up as a DHCP relay agent so that DHCP discovery traffic will be
routed to the appropriate DHCP server.
2. The relay agent, in this case a DHCP/BOOTP relay-enabled router, examines the gateway IP
address field in the DHCP/BOOTP message header. If the field has an IP address of 0.0.0.0, the
agent fills it with the relay agent or router's IP address and forwards the message to the remote
Subnet 1 where the DHCP server is located.
3. When DHCP server 1 on remote Subnet 1 receives the message, it examines the gateway IP
address field for a DHCP scope that can be used by the DHCP server to supply an IP address
lease.
4. If DHCP server 1 has multiple DHCP scopes, the address in the gateway IP address field (GIADDR)
identifies the DHCP scope from which to offer an IP address lease.
For example, if the gateway IP address (GIADDR) field has an IP address of 10.0.0.2, the DHCP
server checks its available set of address scopes for a scope range of addresses that matches the
class A IP network that includes the gateway address as a host. In this case, the DHCP server
would make a check for a scope of addresses between 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.254. If a matching
scope exists, the DHCP server selects an available address from the matched scope to use in an IP
address lease offer response to the client.
5. When DHCP server 1 receives the DHCPDISCOVER message, it processes and sends an IP address
lease offer (DHCPOFFER) directly to the relay agent identified in the gateway IP address (GIADDR)
field.
6. The router then relays the address lease offer (DHCPOFFER) to the DHCP client.
The client IP address is still unknown, so it has to be broadcast on the local subnet. Similarly, a
DHCPREQUEST message is relayed from client to server, and a DHCPACK message is relayed from
server to client, according to RFC 1542.
APIPA ?
Short for Automatic Private IP Addressing, a feature of later Windows operating systems. With
APIPA, DHCP clients can automatically self-configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server isn't
available. When a DHCP client boots up, it first looks for a DHCP server in order to obtain an IP address and subnet
mask. If the client is unable to find the information, it uses APIPA to automatically configure itself with an IP address
from a range that has been reserved especially for Microsoft. The IP address range is 169.254.0.1 through
169.254.255.254. The client also configures itself with a default class B subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. A client uses the
self-configured IP address until a DHCP server becomes available.
Registry keys that control the location and timing of DHCP backups, as well as other DHCP settings,
are located under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCPServer\Parameters.
The following keys control the DHCP database and backup configuration:
BackupDatabasePath Sets the location of the DHCP database. You should set this option through the
DHCP Properties dialog box. Click the Advanced tab, and then set the Database Path field as appropriate.
DatabaseName Sets the name of the primary DHCP database file. The default value is DHCP.mdb.
BackupInterval Determines how often the DHCP client information database is backed up. The default is
60 minutes.
DatabaseCleanupInterval Determines how often the DHCP service deletes expired records from the
DHCP client information database. The default is four hours.

insufficient memory allocations in system called memory

Today here I am going to explain about how to analyze the memory dump.
As in my previous post I have describe to you: How to create memory dump
and where you can find that dump file.
Lets say you have configured a memory dump on a server and server got
unexpected down with BSOD.
This memory.dmp file is the dump file for complete dump. Now you need to analyze it ;)
There are bundle of software in the market for the same, some are free of cost and some
are licensed.
Microsoft has tool that we can use to analyze the memory dump on Microsoft platforms
called as windows debugger (dbg_x86_6.11.1.404). You can download it from here.
After downloading the debugger you need to do little bit configuration before analyzing the
dump.
Now you need to configure the symbol path for it. Before doing it just do the following
Symbol Path:- Symbol files provide a footprint of the functions that are contained in
executable files and dynamic-link libraries (DLLs).Additionally, symbol files can present a
roadmap of the function calls that lead to the point of failure.
Now the configuration is done, now you need to open the dump file in the debugger.
Now you need to open dump file , To do this goto File-->Open Crash Dump
After you open the Memory.dmp, it will make some calculation and load the symbols as
below.
Now you need to write the command "!analyze -v " to get the details
After this command you will get the details about the reason behind the Crash :)
As you all are System Admins so you must have good google search skills,Now just google it
and get the reason for the same.
I have found the reason and the there is some Hotfix from Microsoft for this error.

Performance Monitor is a simple yet powerful visualization tool for viewing performance data, both in real
time and from log files. With it, you can examine performance data in a graph, histogram, or report.
Membership in the local Performance Log Users group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to
complete this procedure.
To start Performance Monitor
1. Click Start , click in the Start Search box, type perfmon , and press ENTER.
2. In the navigation tree, expand Monitoring Tools , and then click Performance Monitor .
You can also use Performance Monitor to view real-time performance data on a remote computer.
Membership in the target computer's Performance Log Users group, or equivalent, is the minimum
required to complete this procedure.
To connect to a remote computer with Performance Monitor
1. Start Performance Monitor.
2. In the navigation tree, right-click Reliability and Performance , and then click Connect to
another computer .
3. In the Select Computer dialog box, type the name of the computer you want to monitor, or
click Browse to select it from a list.
4. Click OK .

iLO makes it possible to perform activities on an HP server from a remote location. The iLO card has a
separate network connection (and its own IP address) to which one can connect via HTTPS. Possible
options are:
Reset the server (in case the server doesn't respond anymore via the normal network card)
Power-up the server (possible to do this from a remote location, even if the server is shut down)
Remote console (in some cases however an 'Advanced license' may be required for some of the
utilities to work)
Mount remote physical CD/DVD drive or image
Access the server's IML (Integrated Management Log)
Can be manipulated remotely through XML-based Remote Insight Board Command Language
(RIBCL)
Full CLI support through RS-232 port (shared with system), though the inability to enter Function
keys prevents certain operations
iLO provides some other utilities like virtual media (CD, floppy), virtual power and a remote console. iLO is
either embedded on the system board, or available as a PCI card
TIP -Once you have enabled iLO you should remove the tag and change the logon credentials for
security purposes. iLO can also integrate with your directory for security logon credentials. If you have
lost the tag or sticker with the default logon credentials please contact HP suppport and they will giude
you through the process to reset iLO security.
Other tips to improve the graphical remote console on Windows servers include...
Recent features added to iLO which is available by simply upgrading your iLO firmware
