Roaming Clients on DHCP

G

Guest

I have a DHCP server on my network, but here there is many visitors that plug-in there notebooks on the network and, of course, uses the same DHCP server. I want to configute a new DHCP scope for this kind of users, to grant them a shorter IP lease time, but the DHCP server does't allow me create a new scope on the same subnet of the already existent scope
How can I configure it
How can I force this notebook clients to use this new scope with the shoter IP lease time

Thanks

You can't unless you can force them onto a different router or gateway
address. All computers that use the same gateway will be forced into the
same range by DHCP.

However, you can utilize the 'User Class' infrastructure to provide
differing option values for clients that provide a particular user class ID
to the DHCP Server.

Ok, but to use the 'User Class' infrastructure, I have top manually configure it on each laptop (ipconfig /setclassid).
But not always I have the access to this laptops, because they belong to visitors. In this case, is there a other way to force then to use it without configuring manually their laptops
And I still will have to use the same DHCP scope.
I just can have one scope per subnet

thank
