Thanks - I have looked on the console already but cant find where any 'totals' are listed. So I think I would have to manually count them up.<br />
This is not ideal. As mentioned, I would like a to report on this so I don't have to count them all up.

I don't know of anything out there that counts your DHCP leases for you. &nbsp;<br />

Have you looked at the counters in Perfmon?

thanks guys.<br />
In the end in simply exported as a list, the DHCP scope into a CSV. This showed me the current leases and also reservations. From that I can work out how many I have spare.<br />
thanks for your help in finding this info.

Hi - I am running Windows 2008 SP2 (NOT R2)<br />
I need to find out how many more free addresses are available via DHCP on the server to prepare for the installation of a load of new computers.<br />
Is there a utility I can run, either built into Windows or third party that will give me the required information.<br />
<br />
thanks in advance

Find free addresses in DHCP - Windows 2008

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.
