change to dhcp static IP from lease 1

[Aardman]

We have a DHCP win2k3 standard server. I'd like to lock it down more and change to static ip from lease. Is there a script/tool to change to lots of fixed ip's using the pc's current leased ip's?

Thanks

So you want your client machines to use DHCP, but always receive the same ip? Then you need to reserve their IP based on their Mac address.

If this is not what you are looking to do, please explain in more detail.

Thanks Serbastic. I want to reserve their IP based on MAC addresses. I wondered if there was a acript or tool to do the whole scope in one go using their current IP?

If you have a list of the IPs and mac addresses, you can script the addition of reservations using the netshell commands for DHCP administration.

Specifically, you want to be using the "add reservedip" command to create reservations. The command might look like this:

add reservedip 10.2.2.32 08002b30369B

And here is a guide on scripting netsh dhcp commands:
