Hello All,

Conflict detection is done by the DHCP server by pinging an IP address
before offering that ip to a requesting client. By default this is not
enabled. To enable it:

  Right click on the server in the DHCP management and select properties.
  Go to the Advanced tab and add a value to the Conflict detection attempts
(0 to disable)

This value will determine the number of times an attempt will be made to
ping the address being offered. If no response is given then the address is
offered to the client. If a reply is given then the server attaches a
BAD_ADDRESS value to that IP address in the scope. This method can be used
as a troubleshooting method to help if you suspect duplicate IP addresses
in use on your network.
