Is it somehow possible to setup reservations through dhcp
in a windows2000 ad environment through computer names
instead of ip's? Thank you
 
If you have hard coded the IP's to the specific named
computers, it would be irrelevant since a reservation for
that IP would be forever associated with that named
computer.
 
No, sorry, but DHCP reservations are strictly MAC address based.

the IP that is reserved is really tied to the MAC # on
the adapter so it would be hard to do since the user name
is not tied down to the computer adapter and the user
name could be used on any computer. You probably already
know that. User names are not unique and theoretically
the mac # is.
