IP Address Management (IPAM) in Windows Server 2016

• The highest-level entity in the IP address space is the IP address block.
• An IPAM server must be a domain member and can also function as a domain controller; however, it should not provide DNS or DHCP services simultaneously.
• A false requirement for an IPAM server is that it "should always be logged on to with a domain account."

Server Requirements for IPAM

• An incorrect statement regarding server requirements is that the server must have a dual-core CPU of at least 2.0 GHz.
• The server must run Windows Server 2008 R2 or later, have at least 4 GB of RAM, and 80 GB of free disk space.

Communication between Multiple IPAM Servers

• Multiple IPAM servers can be configured to communicate through IPAM replication.
• Other options like network load balancing or failover clustering are incorrect for IPAM communication.

Database Types Compatible with IPAM

• Compatible database types for Windows IPAM include Microsoft SQL and Windows Internal Database Access.

Group Policy Objects (GPO) for IPAM

• Four Group Policy Objects are created during automatic Group Policy-based provisioning of an IPAM server.
• The correct PowerShell cmdlet for creating IPAM provisioning GPOs is Initiate-IpamGpoProvisioning.

Scheduled Tasks for IPAM Server

• The process collecting IP address space usage data from DHCP servers runs every four hours.
• The process collecting zone status events from DNS servers runs every 15 minutes.

Benefits of SQL Server with IPAM

• Using SQL server with IPAM provides advantages such as scalability, enhanced security, improved reporting, and better disaster recovery options.

Installing IPAM Servers

• IPAM servers should be installed on domain-joined sole purpose machines.

IPAM Functions

• IPAM does not perform planning, but it carries out auditing, tracking, and monitoring.

Administering IPAM

• IPAM administration can occur from operating systems like Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

• The GPO IPAM1_NPS is not created when IPAM is provisioned through automatic Group Policy.

Managing DNS Servers with IPAM

• A single IPAM server can manage 500 DNS servers.

Memory Requirements for IPAM

• A minimum of 4 GB RAM is required for installing an IPAM server.

Commencing Automatic Group Policy Provisioning

• The PowerShell cmdlet to start the automatic Group Policy provisioning on an IPAM server is Invoke-IpamGpoProvisioning.
