Hi Guys, got a problem i was hoping someone could clear up for me.
I've recently migrated my DHCP service from an NT box to a 2003 box. I used the propper tools and everything seems to have gone ok.
The problem i have is that the lease duration on the NT box was configured to "never expire".
As you can imagine, over the years the scopes have become pretty messy and i'm sure that many of the lease records belong to machines on the network that no longer exist.
I've configured the 2003 leases to have an lease duration of 5 days ( i have a fair few mobiles users and have therefore decreased from the default 8 days).
Most the records on the new 2003 system are still set to "infinite".I was wondering what the best way to clear up the old records is. I didn't want to delete all the records since i fugure this could cause IP conflicts, am i right?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
