The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) Server service is a process that runs in the background on a computer running Windows Server and that provides Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses to clients.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can lease both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses. If IPv6 is not available, the DHCP service uses IPv4 only.
DHCP failed to initialize one of its components. The DHCP Server service cannot start. Client computers cannot obtain new leases from the DHCP server and will not have network connectivity.
Resolution: Configure a static IP address for the DHCP server
To perform these procedures, you must be a member of the Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To configure TCP/IP for static addressing:
At the DHCP server computer, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Network and Sharing Center, and then click Manage network connections.
Right-click the network connection you want to configure, and then click Properties.
On the Networking tab, click Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and then click Properties.
Click Use the following IP address, and then type the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
Click Use the following DNS server addresses.
In Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server, type the primary and secondary DNS server addresses.
