Migrating Server 2012 to 2016. I moved DHCP settings to the new server and removed DHCP role from the old DC and installed on the new DC. Did all this with PowerShell commands as in the Migration Guide.
I'd like to have the DHCP GUI added in addition to managing DHCP via PowerShell. DHCP doesn't appear in the Administrative Tools list. How can I add it?
Many thanks.

Hello Art,
Please, read chapter 11 step 8. It says 'Type Install-WindowsFeature DHCP. If you want to install the GUI also add –IncludeManagementTools'.
Install-WindowsFeature DHCP –IncludeManagementTools
If I run the the command again with the -IncludeManagementTools option, will it just install the GUI or will I have to reconfigure DHCP again?
I found the following command: Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-DHCP that indicates it will install the DHCP console...is that correct? DHCP is all configured and I just want the GUI for future use.
Thanks.
The Powershell command Add-WindowsFeature is obsolete since the release of Windows Server 2012 and will soon be removed. The new command is Install-WindowsFeature and if you run that again with the option –IncludeManagementTools it will just add the ManagementTools. It does not alter an existing installation.
