Have trouble running the netsh dhcp command to configure your DHCP servers?

Have trouble running the netsh dhcp command to configure your DHCP servers? Try running the command from a DHCP server on your network. That's because the Netsh DHCP Helper is installed when you add the DHCP server role to a W2K member server. Note that you can manage any DHCP server on your network using netsh dhcp as long as you run this command on a DHCP server.
