Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to check on DHCP status.

 How can I use Windows PowerShell to check on my DHCP status?

 Use the Get-Service cmdlet and search for services that have DHCP in the name. You can do this remotely if the firewall has exceptions and if you have rights.

PS C:\> gsv -Name *dhcp* -ComputerName wds1
