The Microsoft Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Service Management Pack collects the events the Microsoft Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Service (DHCP) places in the Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 System event logs. This Management Pack highlights events that might indicate possible service outages or configuration problems, so that you can quickly take corrective or preventative actions. For example, this Management Pack alerts you of the following critical conditions:
- Ability to monitor for DHCP service availability (stopped state)
- Ability to monitor for start up failures that are due to issues found within service initialization data
- Ability to monitor for start up failures that are due to network or communication issues
- Ability to monitor for unexpected service terminations
- Ability to monitor DHCP scope health
- Ability to detect when unauthorized DHCP servers are on the network
- Ability to detect when DHCP is unable to restore the DHCP database
