Stupid question. There is a Cisco router, a switch of the same company and a server running Windows Server 2008. What is the best way to set up a DHCP server?

Raise on what you know better and what will be more convenient to administer. Both solutions have been used by thousands of companies for many years.

Not on Windows) I would vote for the switch.

And I would on Windows: convenient, everything is visible, from any win-computer through the snap-in it will be possible to watch, reserve, exclude.
Plus, if the dns is for 2008, then dhcp will normally delete the dns records of local computers.

+1 for the switch. Then, if for some reason the Windows server goes offline, users will still be able to connect to the network. And if the router / switch falls, no one will have a network anyway, regardless of the screw server.

As a networker, I say "-1 for a cisco" and "+1 for a pair of Win servers" (redandancy). Will explain. Tsiska DAMN is inconvenient in work in respect of the DHCP server. She has one reservation = one pool. Plus the already mentioned DNS.
“Besides, why once again drive traffic to the CD” - and what kind of DHCP traffic? 4 small packets for an exchange?
