Hi,<br />
<br />
When a lease expires it goes into a 'pool' on the DHCP server. It is held in this pool for a grace period of time, in 2003 it is 4 hours. This amount of time can be changed but I cant find the reg key to do it. I know it exists because I had it before but MS decided to change their web layout once again so my link to it doesnt work.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
