SCREENSHOT

  1. Provide credentials: You'll be asked to provide source credentials that Sevco will use to connect to Microsoft DHCP:
Credential or ParameterDescription
DomainDomain name. Can be shorthand domain name
UsernameUsername that is a member of DHCP users or Administrator of Domain Controller. Do not prefix with netbios domain name.
Password
  1. Set permissions: In Microsoft DHCP, ensure that ...

    User is a member of DHCP Users. If DHCP servers reside on the domain controller, user must be Administrator of the domain. If you are still getting access denied, try adding the user to local Administrator group for each DHCP server.

  2. Additional requirements:

    DHCP servers and a domain controller must be reachable from the Windows runner. To enumerate subnets and subnet clients from a DHCP Server the Windows runner must be able to communicate via Windows RPC to each DHCP Server.

If you encounter any errors, they are most likely related to incorrect credentials or insufficient permissions. Verify your work in steps 2 and 3.
