BAD_ADDRESS on DHCP
I have BAD_ADDRESS apearing in my windows DHCP server console. i have tried to turning off the DHCP service and then doing a release and renew to see if I have a rogue DHCP server, but when I do the ipconfig/renew I don't get a new IP.
If i delete the BAD_ADDRESS from the address lease section - it will reappear within 10 minutes.

I'm seeing like 300 and the ip addresses are random.

I mean to go to the DHCP server and exclude one IP Address, and then go the machine and give it that IP add, and you are done.

no the BAD_ADDRESSes are eating up all of my free addresses - I need to have it stop so that I can continue to use DHCP.

The other thing we have noticed is that the Unique ID of the devce with the BAD_ADDRESS is 8 characters long as opposed to 12 characters long.
This is definitely not answered. I have this same problem only one DHCP server, all dumb switches I can't figure out where these are coming from.
Make it static within the exclusive range.
Good Luck!
