The R_DhcpRemoveOptionV5 method removes the option definition of a specific option for a specific user class and vendor class at the default option level. If the user class or the vendor class is not specified, the option definition is removed from the default user class or vendor class. The OptionID specifies the identifier of the option definition.

 DWORD R_DhcpRemoveOptionV5(
   [in, unique, string] DHCP_SRV_HANDLE ServerIpAddress,
   [in] DWORD Flags,
   [in] DHCP_OPTION_ID OptionID,
   [in, string, unique] WCHAR* ClassName,
   [in, string, unique] WCHAR* VendorName
 );

ServerIpAddress: The IP address/host name of the DHCP server. This parameter is unused.

Flags: This is of type DWORD that specifies that the option definition is removed for a specific or default vendor class.

Value	Meaning
DHCP_FLAGS_OPTION_DEFAULT 0x00000000	Option definition is removed for the default vendor class.
DHCP_FLAGS_OPTION_IS_VENDOR 0x00000003	If a bitwise AND operation with this bitmask yields a nonzero value, it indicates that the option definition is removed for a specific vendor class.

OptionID: This is of type DHCP_OPTION_ID (section 2.2.1.2.3), containing the option identifier for the option definition being removed.

ClassName: A pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string that contains the name of the user class for which the option definition is removed. This parameter is optional. If the ClassName parameter is not specified, the option definition is removed for the default user class.

VendorName: A pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string that contains the name of the vendor class for which the option definition is removed. This parameter is optional. If vendor class name is not specified, the option definition is removed for the default vendor class.

Return Values: A 32-bit unsigned integer value that indicates return status. A return value ERROR_SUCCESS (0x00000000) indicates that the operation was completed successfully, else it contains a Win32 error code, as specified in [MS-ERREF]. This error code value can correspond to a DHCP-specific failure, which takes a value between 20000 and 20099, or any generic failure.

Return value/code	Description
0x00000000 ERROR_SUCCESS	The call was successful.
0x00004E2A ERROR_DHCP_OPTION_NOT_PRESENT	The specified option definition does not exist on the DHCP server database.
0x00004E4C ERROR_DHCP_CLASS_NOT_FOUND	The class name being used is unknown or incorrect.

The opnum field value for this method is 18.

When processing this call, the DHCP server MUST do the following:

• Validate if this method is authorized for read/write access per section 3.5.5. If not, return the error ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.

• The Flags parameter MUST pass one of the validations given in the Flags field description. Otherwise, the method returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.

• Iterate through the server ADM element DHCPv4OptionDefList and retrieve DHCPv4OptionDef.DHCPv4ClassedOptDefList corresponding to the user and vendor class specified by ClassName and VendorName respectively. If ClassName or VendorName is NULL, it refers to the default user class or vendor class respectively, as specified in section 3.1.1.9. If there is no DHCPv4OptionDef entry corresponding to the specified user and vendor classes, return ERROR_DHCP_CLASS_NOT_FOUND.

• Iterate through DHCPv4ClassedOptDefList and if there is no DHCPv4ClassedOptDef entry corresponding to the OptionID, return the error ERROR_DHCP_OPTION_NOT_PRESENT.

• Delete the DHCPv4ClassedOptDef entry corresponding to the OptionID from the DHCPv4ClassedOptDefList, and return ERROR_SUCCESS.

Exceptions Thrown: No exceptions are thrown beyond those thrown by the underlying RPC protocol [MS-RPCE].
