RIS DHCP Issue

Primary Domain Controller was demoted (still exists on the network). A new Primary Domain controller (PDC) exists. The new PDC has a differnet server name and IP address.

When a RIS client tries to connect to the RIS server it fails

E53 - No bootname received

On the RISServer there is an error Event ID 1051

The DHCP/BINL service has determined that it is not authorized to serve clients on this network for the windows domain: student.star

Problem was fixed with the following solution

A. To re-authorize your Windows 2000 RIS server, follow these steps:
1. Open DHCP from Administrative Tools.
2. Right-click DHCP in the upper-left corner of the DHCP screen, and then click Manage Authorized Servers. If your server is not already listed, click Authorize, and then enter the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the RIS server. When you are prompted, click Yes to verify that the address is correct.
3. Restart the DHCP server.
