DHCP Reservations are inactive??

[Tolinrome]

I have a Windows 2003 Server running DHCP. I made about 20
reservations for network printers we have. I used the IP that was
already assigned to the printer by the DHCP server and just created a
reservation for it.

Now when I look at the Leased IP's for the scope I see that all the
reservations that I created, (except 2), says (inactive9. Why does it
say inactive if the lease isnt expired? All the client PC computers
also have reservations and it say active instead of inactive. Did I do
something wrong???

Thanks,
Tolinrome

All the "reserved" addresses must be address listed in the scope as being
"available" to be given out.
