Configuring VPN on Windows Server 2008 with no DHCP

-

have cloud based virtual machine client's hosting company. sole purpose of vm instance clients public facing asp.net web site.

vm instance had bare installation of windows server 2008 r2 on , installed following:

  • iis
  • network policy , access server
  • mssql 2012

able remote desktop , connect mssql remotely have opened respective firewall ports via hosting company control panel firewall.

recently, have noticed there group of computers ip addresses on world attempting brute-force the administrator and sa account. subsequently disabled both of accounts precaution , not plan on re-enabling them. however, repeated brute force continues on these accounts.

tried set vpn access on windows server can not working. followed tutorials:here and here and here..

when try connect via vpn notices following messages in event viewer:

unable contact dhcp server. automatic private ip address 169.254.xxx.xx assigned dial-in clients. clients may unable access resources on network.

indicates dhcp not installed. when go install dhcp presented many options beyond me.

so, questions is: since have working live client asp.net application running on vm instance fixed ip (4x.2x.13x.xx) / www.clientssite.com. installing dhcp role potentially mess-up / take down live site? dhcp keep site working under iis , can create dhcp range of 10.9.8.10 10.9.8.50 ? fix vpn connection issue ultimate goal.
