we recently installed new Windows 2003 Servers and configured DHCP for the first time on the network. Using the DHCP Server that comes with 2003, we have configured the Scope to supply DNS and Default Gateway. 10 out of about 60 clients do not get the default gateway the first time they boot their PC. They are getting valid ip and dns settings, just not the Default Gateway. IF they run ipconfig /renew, it will finally get the gateway information.
This is so strange because I have never had this problem with Windows DHCP Servers before.
It’s not random, it is a select few of systems that this occurs on. Anyone have any suggestions?
