Rachel is a junior system administrator for a network with a single Active Directory domain. The network has just expanded to include an additional subnet. Rachel has installed a new server running Windows Server 2016 on the new subnet and configure it as a DHCP server. When she checks the server icon in the DHCP Management console, she notices the server has a down icon. The DHCP server service has started, but the server does not respond to DHCP lease requests. What should Rachel do to solve the problem

Answer: Ask a member of the Enterprise Admins group to authorize the server.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, we are informed that Rachel installed a new server running Windows Server 2016 on the new subnet and configure it as a DHCP server but then realizes that the DHCP server service has started, but that the server does not respond to DHCP lease requests.

In this case, the reason for this can be attributed to the fact that the server hasn't been authorized, therefore, she can ask a member of the Enterprise Admins group to authorize the server.
