netsh dhcp isn't working on Windows Server 2008

Question

Gents,

I am trying to run the following command on a fresh Windows Server 2008 box.

netsh dhcp server 10.2.x.x scope 10.2.x.x show client

and I am given the following error

the following command could not be found:

If I run this on my local windows 7 machien it's fine.

Perhaps I am missing some libraries or options? Any help is appreciated.

Could be wrong, but do you need the DHCP Server role installed on the box before it will let you use the command line tools? — SmallClanger, Nov 19 '10 at 13:18

"show client" doesn't exist on my Windows 7 machine or a fresh install of Windows Server 2008 R2.

What does exist is "show alias" and "show helper".
