Mountain Lion server got rid of DHCP server for some reason I can't fathom.
Lately, Apple has basically managed to ruin every pro application they sell. I am not even remotely surprised they did that.
so... ML Server roundup:
No more Server Admin, NAT, DHCP(!), Firewall, XGrid
No more Server Tools, therefore Workgroup Manager, so you have to rely on Profile Manager to manage your ML clients... let's hope the damn thing works (i.e it's not Lion)
Server Image Utility (SIU) seems unable to make the "combined"installer for a server as per the previous way (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4746)
Everything is now in Server.app... Welcome to The Fisher-Price guide to servers... except there's no DHCP so "small businesses" et al will have to rely on their router for that...
I'm in the same boat... no ML server for me because our Xserve's don't have GFX cards... never mind the fact that half the crap on Lion doesn't work and we were waiting for the upgrade... it's throw the Xserve in the bin.
To add insult to injury, Apple include "XSan 3" as a main feature of ML server, which is just some marketing prick writing down things on a website... a joke
Welcome to the Apple experience! Frankly, it looks like Apple doesn't seem to care about OS X server anymore. Look at the reviews of OS X server on the App store. Almost every reviewer gave it one star... For real server work, I would suggest Linux.
