SYMPTOMS

Adding a large number of DHCP reservations (570+) in a single scope will cause one client to disappear from the list of Active Leases. This makes the client unmanageable from DHCP Manager. The Resource Kit utility, Dhcpcmd.exe, also fails to list reservations beyond the 570th one.

CAUSE

The Windows NT 4.0 DHCP service and management tools exhibited a problem with enumerating large numbers of clients.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
