I get the following error when I try to add a reservation to our dhcp server "the specified dhcp client is not a reserved client"
Technet reports in this link that my dhcp server appears to be a stand alone

I'm trying to determine if my dhcp server is stand alone and if so why I would want to keep it this way if i can't add reservations? I didn't set it up and am trying to understand the implications of changing this.

To determine if your DHCP server is authorised, it's server icon in the DHCP console should have a green upward facing arrow over it when you epand it. Why would you want your DHCP server not authorised? You wouldn't really.
You also get this error message when trying to create a reservation that doesn't fall inside the scope/subnet of the scope you are trying to add it to.
Could you give details of the scope range/subnet and the reservation you're trying to add?
DHCP on windows 2008 R2 won't let you add a reservation outside of the scope. It gives you this cryptic error "the specified dhcp client is not a reserved client" I find this "feature" annoying. I expanded my scope to include the address I wanted to reserve created the reservation then changed the scope back to the original numbers.

Why is your DHCP server Stand-alone - if its on a domain then it should be a domain member and consequently needs to be authorised. In a domain a DHCP server cannot issue IP addresses until it has been authorised by an enterprise admin
