Wheres my DHCP Server









We run a Network management PC Upkeep/Deploy shop in Wall, NJ. At times, we have quite a turn over of PC's in the shop. The other day we couldn't get a machine to grab an IP Address on our fix-net. Deeper examination revealed our SBS DHCP server leases were all used up.

We had it set at 50 leases and a 24Hr expire. We changed the lease settings by adding 25 more leases and cut down the lease time to 8Hrs. This will work better at our shop due to the quickness of our operation here. ;)

Here are screenshots of the leaseout error in the DHCP MMC. And dont forget to check your logs .
