restrict dhcp assignments to certain macs

[Guest rickster]

Is there a way to configure server 2003 dhcp to restrict address assignments

to a list of mac addresses? If not, is there another simple solution to

accomplish this besides using unix/linux? thanks...

DHCP reservations for all, and no spare/non-reserved addresses...but that

sucks ____ and isn't very secure anyway as MAC addresses can be changed.

 

High-end Ethernet switches can do a lot of this sort of thing for you -

Windows can't. Nor can any DHCP server - it's first come, first serve.
