DHCP Reservation Question

[Guest]

I don't know if this is the correct section to post this question but anyway
I'll post anyway.
If I use the DHCP Reservation on one of the Windows domail controllers, then
will that DHCP Address can be only acquired by the computer that I assigned
to use that specific DHCP Address?
Does using DHCP Reservation function of the Windows Domain Controller avoids
IP conflict on connected devices configured on DHCP?

Yes, that's correct. If you reserve an IP address to a device in DHCP
Server, then that address will only be issued to the specified device by MAC
address. It won't be assigned to any other DHCP client, and any DHCP client
that asks for that address in a lease will be told that the address is in
use and another offered. But reserved addresses won't do anything for
static assigned addresses and address conflicts.
