What is the best way to list active users on a Windows 2000 DHCP server? I want their IP address and computer name listed.

All you can tell through DHCP is that a given IP address has been leased to a given computer name (i.e. an active lease). There is no way to determine strictly through DHCP whether that computer is currently active (logged-on).

answer 1 is correct. the lease may be active but the computer granted the lease may be offline. you can make a batchfile that pings each ip addresses leases to determine whether the machine is online or not.

hope this helps.
