Install IP Address Management (IPAM) in Windows Server

IP Address Management (IPAM) provides a central framework for managing your IP address space and corresponding infrastructure servers such as DHCP and DNS. According to Microsoft, IPAM provides a dynamic view of your IP infrastructure and this view is continually refreshed by periodic tasks that run on the IPAM server. However, IPAM is not enabled by default on your Windows Server. In this article, we’ll see step-by-step process to install IP Address Management (IPAM) in Windows Server.
