It is very rare to need Superscopes. Why do you think you need them? What it
is that you are doing?

Why do you want a superscope?
(They are ONLY used to support multinets or other
cases where two+ scopes are used on the same
broadcast segment.)

They are trivial to create in the MS DHCP GUI
IF you need one.

Make two or more regular scopes FOR THE SAME
subnet (to support a Multinet).

Right click and make a new superscope and add the
appropriate scopes (you already created) to this new
superscope.

I answered as soon as I saw your post. <grin>
 
I am segmenting company divisions into different LAN subnets:

10.10.5.x
10.10.15.x
10.10.20.x
10.10.25.x

I want to set up a single DHCP server to handle these. Will a
superscope do that for me? Is there somewhere I can get more detailed
information on how I get this to work? I not only want to get it up
and running properly but I also want to UNDERSTAND what I'm doing, too
;)

No.

A superscope would be used to combine different scopes
into a single superscope (group).

You need an individual scope for each of those subnets.

Also, consider useing these addresses instead:
10.10.9.x
10.10.17.x
10.10.25.x
10.10.33.x

Sure, open DHCP server MMC and hit help.

Or Start-> Help and Support and search for:

[ dhcp checklist ]

There are checklists on every major service/subsystem,
Once viewing the checklist you can synchronize contents
(Locate in Contents) and get (typical) these areas for
each topic:

Checklists
Best practices (tips)
How to (help with specific tasks)
Concepts (general background)
Troubleshooting


Or Google:
[ "Step-by-step guide" DHCP site:microsoft.com ]

(leave out the DHCP for Guides on most any major
subsystem)

You can also search for "Install and share Windows Help"
if you need to search Win2003 help from XP or vice-versa.

DHCP Server:

Authorize your DHCP server (right click)

Make a scope for each subnet
Exclude address (within scope) which are already in use
Set all the options for each subnet/scope
Set Reservations for any exception computers/addresses

Arrange for routers or DHCP relay agents to send
requests to server from OTHER subnets (ones
where the DHCP is not directly connected.)

DOUBLE CHECK options -- then Enable Scope

Client side:
Make sure clients are set to obtain an address automatically.
Optional for XP+ clients -- provide them an ALTERNATE
configuration in case they travel away from the DHCP
server or the server is down
