What causes DHCP server install error 0x800f0922 to occur

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that automatically assigns an IP address from a pre-defined IP pool. Deploying the DHCP on the server will make network management much easier.

You mainly come across this error message while installing DHCP on a Windows Server. The error message appears below.

Here are the main causes for this error to occur in Windows Server.

• An active DHCP server is already present on the network
• Having multiple DHCP servers. This in return will cause IP conflicts(two or more computers with the same IP address) to arise as there is no shared central database to keep lease information. However, Windows 2012 Server will allow you to have more than one DHCP server to balance or fail over.
