If you know of any that arent in use - you can manually delete them out of DHCP

I have configured a DHCP server on Windows Server 2008 R2, I have designated a range 0.101 - 0.252, since our WIFI is also on the same network DHCP has ran out of awaylable IPs. DHCP lease retension is 8 days, so some IPs that were used by guest connecting to WIFI are locked even though they are not being used. Is there a way to release unused IP address from DHCP?<br />

Thank you,<br />

Clear unused IPs from DHCP

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).
