The DHCP Relay Agent is a routing protocol that enables DHCP clients to obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server on a remote subnet, or which is not located on the local subnet. If you have no configured DHCP Relay Agent, your clients would only be able to obtain IP addresses from the DHCP server which is on the same subnet. To enable clients to obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server on a remote subnet, you have to configure the DHCP Relay Agent on the subnet that contains the remote clients, so that it can relay DHCP broadcast messages to your DHCP server.
DHCP Relay cannot be run on a server that is running DHCP or NAT with automatic addressing enabled
You need to have routing and remote access services installed on your server, then you go into the routing and remote access control panel and go to IP routing >
Right click on general > add > select DHCP relay agent and then configure the interface to relay from, tick to enable DHCP relay, specify the max number of jumps etc.
Once you have the relay set up, right click on it and choose properties, you can then specify where the DHCP requests will be relayed to.
