You could remove some exclusions in your case. You can use a IP scanner to check which adresses are static.

What is the address range for distribution? if you want to change the excluded range delete and re-add a shorter range list. &nbsp;You can check it ip' s are being used by a ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or arp -a with give you more information by using the ip. &nbsp;Do you have reservations created?

What I would do and have done in the past is look at the scopes in question and order them by lease expiration time, delete the oldest leaving a few days worth.<br />
<br />
What is the expiry on your leases currently? You could possibly reduce this.<br />
<br />
I hope this helps.<br />

The lease duration for DHCP clients is limited to 8 days. Should I reduce this?

Hi<br />
<br />
We have DHCP running in a windows 2003 environment. I am getting this message in DHCP console &quot;&nbsp;I have 1 available ip, 140 in use&quot; &nbsp; we have a lot of ip addresses excluded from distribution. I am unsure if all of these &nbsp;excluded ip addresses are in fact still in use.<br />
<br />
I am unsure how to resolve this issue, is there a best practice?<br />
<br />
Any assistance appreciated.

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).
