Dhcp And Vlan Setup

Hello trader...

Well, I would configure first that VLAN interfaces on L3 switch. Will you configure there some VTP server, or you'll put manually VLANs on switches?

After VLAN configuration, you must configure MS2003 DHCP server. I think that on one server you can configure all 10 DHCP scopes. Also, you can configure your L3 switch like DHCP server. But if you configure your MS2003 as DHCP server, than your L3 switch will act as DHCP relay agent.

You would use ip helper-address commands on your main VLAN interfaces on L3 switch, so that every user can get through DHCP server with their broadcast messages.
If you'll put some acls there, make sure that you permit udp any any eq 67 which is bootps port for DHCP broadcast messages.

Only thing that I'm not sure - how will DHCP server know what to address give to each station? How would he differentiate stations? Based on what?
