DHCP Client Address Conflicts
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) operates on a lease renewal basis. During the leasing process, IP address conflicts can occur as leases are renewed and expired. Client lease requests might be denied by the server for invalid (out of pool) or duplicate IP addresses. Multiple IP address conflict messages can indicate that your lease period, your scope, or both, need adjustment in your DHCP server configuration.
