DHCP Objects is an automation object-model library for the Microsoft® DHCP server. It allows administrators and developers to write applications and scripts to administer a DHCP server remotely. It provides enhanced capabilities over Dhcpcmd.exe (a tool included in the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Support Tools), such as the ability to remove a DHCP lease.
DHCP Objects is implemented as an in-process server (DLL) exposing ActiveX® Objects (previously known as OLE Automation objects) as dual COM interfaces. All objects are accessible from advanced automation controllers such as Microsoft® Visual C++®, Microsoft® Visual Basic®, and Microsoft® Visual J++™, as well as from scripting languages like VBScript and JavaScript (provided that the scripting host application provides a way to create ActiveX objects). The DHCP objects may be accessed remotely via DCOM or Remote Automation, so 16-bit, 32-bit and Web-based applications can use it to administer any DHCP server on a given network.
DHCP Objects is not installed by the Windows 2000 Resource Kit setup program. Before using this tool, you must install it by running Dhcpobjs.exe, a self-extracting executable file. Installed with the tool is Dhcpobjs.chm, an HTML Help file that contains detailed information on how to use the tool.
