Instead of installing the full Windows 2003 Administration pack, you may want to install only certain parts of the pack like for example the DHCP Administrator MMC add-in.

To install, register, only the DHCP Admin snap-in, you will need two files dhcpmgmt.msc and dhcpsnap.dll

These two files can be found in the Windows 2003 Administration pack from Microsoft.

Copy dhcpmgmt.msc and dhcpsnap.dll to c:\windows\system32

Open a console window by clicking on Start, then click on Run and type:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\dhcpsnap.dll

.. and then click on OK.

You should get a prompt saying that you successfully registered this DLL. Your DHCP Admin snap-in is now installed

To test. Launch MMC.exe by click on START, RUN and typing in MMC.exe and then click OK.

Click on File in the menu bar and chose Add/Remove Snap-in.

Click on Add

Scroll down to DHCP and click on Add and the click on close. You should see DHCP in the left pain. If you do then the install worked.
