I installed a new 5.1 ESXi and after that I created a new resource pool I installed a server 2008 r2 on that pool which has a ad, DHCP and DNS installed.
If I want to use the my laptop I have to manually insert my IP, gw and DNS. Can anyone help me please.
Please have some consideration am a beginner.
Thank you
welcome to communities!!
can you please explain the requirement?
i understand, you like to connect your laptop to the domain which is running on VM. Also Laptop has to fetch the IP from DHCP.
is it right?
You have a couple of options if I understand you correctly. If this is hooked up to the same network as your laptop, but when your laptop is used in other places you require DHCP, but you want a static IP when connected to your ESXi host network? If that is the case you can either create a script that will change your network settings for you, or google a freeware application that can do that as well while utilizing hotkeys.
If I'm way off the mark on what you are looking for then please explain better your issue. Thanks.
