- Did you hear about IPAM role? It centralizes management of all dhcp and dns servers in one tool in one location.
what effect current system if we install one server member and add role IPAM ? and if no use it i can uninstall this role ? search some document this this tool so good to manage DHCP,DNS,DC ? I can use this tool IPAM to assign one admin manage DHCP only ? about DNS , DC will separate .
Yes, you can uninstall it. It only recolect the data from DHCP and DNS records + DC accounts, in order to summary wich account, when, with IP ... x.x.x.x. accessed the network.
The problem in windows server 2016 is that all the dhcp and dns server must be part of the domain.
There are a couple of roles you can assign to other people in order to manage dns for example at one scope.
You can create your own security roles.
Maybe you can read more about this if it really fits your needs.
Hope it helps.
