    • Open up the DHCP management console under administrative tools
    • If your DHCP server isn't listed then add it
    • If the server was listed you may need to double click on it to get windows to establish the connection to the DHCP server
    • Right-click on the server name
    • If you need to add a vendor/user class then:
      • Choose 'Define Vendor Class' or 'Define User Class'
    • Else Choose 'Predefined Options and Values'
      • Add any options/values you need.

  2. Have you tried using DHCP option 150 (tftp-server)? It looks to be a tentative assignment so not entirely sure what the support for this option is. Have a shot, anyway.
