In our environment , we have users that work in and out of office. we need to set 2 DHCP scopes , one scope with the lease of 8 days, and this will be assigned to computers that are all the time in the office, another scope will be for laptops that are moved &nbsp;frequently in and out the office , the lease for this scope will be like for 1 day.<br />
<br />
I wonder how to tell a computer when it is plugged to the network and powered on, to which DHCP scope should it get an IP address from.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you.

how to dictate to dhcp client which scope to go to

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).
