DHCP only to registered computers

Hello:

I have been having an issue with users plugging unauthorized computers into
the network. I have Windows 2003 DHCP configured. I thought there was a
way to configure it so only computers registered in Active Directory could
get a DHCP address. I looked in the config, but didn't see anything
relating to this.

Does anyone know if you can configure DHCP so only computers registered in
Active Directory will get a DHCP address? Thanks

Do you keep track of all MAC adresses ?

You may be able to restrict DHCP leases to only known MAC addresses.

Thanks for replying to my post.

I thought of that, but that would be difficult to manage. I have done some
additional research and so far I am not coming up with anything. I almost
think this goes against the purpose of a DHCP server to serve out IP
addresses to client computers...

Hi Harrison,

Thanks for posting!

Please note that the newsgroups provide assistance to resolve break/fix
issues. Based on my knowledge, generally, we cannot prevent a registered
computer in AD from getting the IP from DHCP server. To avoid the potential
security issue that the unauthenticated user can access the internal
resource, you may gracefully set the NTFS permission of shared resource.
Additionally, if you need to deny unauthenticated user access external
resource, I recommend you use ISA server, it can restrict unauthenticated
user to access Internet even though he can get the IP from DHCP.

Furthermore, we recommend Microsoft Advisory Services, a
remotely-delivered, consultative support option that adds the element of
proactive support, providing a comprehensive result beyond your break-fix
product maintenance needs. More information on this service here:
