Normal DHCP Lease duration?

[Bob Doyle]

Hello,

What is the "Standard" / "Normal" Duration Lease for DHCP in Win2K AD?

Thanks,
Bob

The default lease time is 8 days.

Thanks.

We have 350 clients. with a subnet of 255.0.0.0

What do you think of a duration? 90% I'd say are desktops and printers that
never move.

I don't really see any need to change the lease time from the default. If
most of the clients are static then increasing the lease time would save
you some DHCP traffic on the network every 8 days but that's not much of a
reason. Unless you have a specific requirement to change the lease time I
would just leave it as it is.
