Are you using 2.0-beta2 on both sides of connection?
i'd suggest using this too, it has a build in sort of DHCP
I beleave this has something to do with the ifconfig-pool server option. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work. That is, i have included an ifconfig-pool option in the server config and pushing some DHCP options (like domainname and internal office DNS) and ip-win32 dynamic to the client, but the client (or server?) will not choose an IP address from this pool.

If the dynamic ifconfig-pool would work, I would be just as happy. Then there is no need to use the office DHCP server anyway, because I could configure it to never assign a dynamic IP address from the range I assign to the ifconfig-pool.

What options (client AND server) do I need to take advantage of the internal DHCP server of the openvpn software and assign an IP from the ifconfig-pool?

i used the config files for tun from the 2.0 release notes. I get an IP address in that range
