DHCP server icons

Folks, do you know what icons mean on DHCP clients.  Some shows a clock and others some sort of checkmark or strike.

This is for Windows Server 2016

This should answer your question : Please refer to the icon table :https://profadmins.com/2013/04/10/dhcp-console-icons-reference/
DHCP Leases show an computer icon with a clock on it, this is normal.  However, if you see a Pen on that computer instead of the clock, it is telling you that DHCP dhcp-pen-icon-2has some pending writes to DNS

Here are just a few of them.
So either clock or pen icon means neither address is available to lease by DHCP server.  Just don't see much difference between these two :)
