This article was previously published under Q130478 SUMMARY
Windows NT Server Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Manager
offers a feature named Reconcile. Reconcile fixes inconsistent IP
addresses. This option can be chosen from the Active Leases dialog box in
DHCP Manager.
MORE INFORMATION
Inconsistency of IP addresses in DHCP service can occur when leases are
recorded in the Registry but are not reflected in the DHCP database.
The Reconcile option in the Active Leases dialog box does a consistency
check on the DHCP database and lists all inconsistent IP addresses in that
scope.
To correct the inconsistency, choose this option and select all IP
addresses that need to be fixed. Reconcile either restores those IP
addresses to the original owner or creates a temporary reservation for
those addresses. These reservations will be valid for the lease time
assigned to the scope. Once the lease time is expired the addresses will
be recovered for future use.
