SYMPTOMS
========
When viewing the lease expiration of all Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) reserved clients for a scope in DHCP Manager, selecting "Scope, Active
Leases, Properties" indicates that the "Lease Expires: Infinite". This is only
true if the scope is created with an unlimited lease duration. If the scope's
lease duration is limited to a specific period of time, the lease expiration for
the reserved clients will match the expiration of all addresses in the scope.
CAUSE
=====
The lease term of a DHCP reserved client is determined by the lease duration of
the scope in which the reservation is added.
RESOLUTION
==========
To create reserved clients with unlimited lease durations, create a scope with
an unlimited lease duration and add reservations to that scope.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5 and
3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
