I am not sure what is the best approach to take with this problem.
The DHCP does not appear to be properly set up, leading to numerous IP address conflicts on a daily basis.
Availability is 13%
Lease period is set to Infinite.
Printers are on DHCP
Some servers are on DHCP
Dozens of reservations and none excluded.
I reset the lease period to 2 days hoping it would flush out over the weekend but no such luck since most users leave their machines on all the time. I try to release and renew leases to pick up the new 2 day period but I get error: “Access denied” ??
Can I reconfigure the scope without any visibility to the users and servers or is it better to define a new scope and Can I have two scopes defined with the same addresses if one is inactive?
There is going to be 3 day power down in the building over Easter, will that help to flush the DHCP database?
