DHCP Issue

[Paul Johnson]

Good Day,

I am experiencing a bit of a problem with my SBS2000 DHCP server. For some
reason it is displaying yellow exclamation icons next to the server and
scope tree items. When this happens, no new machines can connect to the
network and automatically receive an IP address. My only way around this is
to enter a static IP on the new machine, that does not appear in the DHCP
servers Address Leases list.

This seems rather strange as I can see gaps in the leased IP range but these
are not being assigned automatically and the laptop does not complain when I
enter it manually so it is not in use.

Can anyone offer some advice or attempt to point me in the right direction.

Kind Regards,
Paul.

Look for the icon you see in the DHCP console here:

Exclamation mark means that the scope is almous full.
Try to change the lease time, I'm sure it will help.
