1. Ensure that you have your network DNS entries correct for each client on your network (DHCP can create these entries automatically if configured correctly.) 2. Ensure the DNS information in EXT.OPS is correct and pointing to your network DNS servers 3. Remove the static IP assignments from your EXT.OPS entries (the most time consuming of your process. I recommend using a scripting tool if you have a lot of client entries) 4. Test, test, and more test. Expect glitches. 5. Eventually you will iron out all the gotchas and from then on you are good to go. Just create a new client entry if you want it managed. DHCP and DNS will take care of the rest.
Example: Client: LAB01 Old Static IP: 172.169.0.13 New DHCP IP (dynamically assigned): 10.10.0.28 DNS should resolve "LAB01" to 10.10.0.28. Meditech will query your network's DNS for an IP address for LAB01.
