Which command is appropriate for verifying DHCP configuration on a Windows server?

The command that is appropriate for verifying DHCP configuration on a Windows server is the one used to renew the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. When a client device uses this command, it requests a new IP address lease or renews an existing lease from the DHCP server. This process verifies that the DHCP configuration is working correctly and that the server is reachable.

Renewing the IP address can help troubleshoot connectivity issues and ensure that the DHCP settings are correctly applied to the client. It can also reflect if there are any problems with the DHCP server, such as being unreachable or not responding properly to lease requests.

The other options do not serve the purpose of verifying DHCP configuration effectively. For instance, the command that suggests checking or initializing configurations does not exist, and those that indicate querying status or initialization functions are not relevant for directly interacting with DHCP leases. Thus, the command that actively engages the DHCP server for configuration verification is essential for network management and problem resolution.
