We are currently running a Microsoft Windows 2000 based
Active Directory. Our DHCP server is also one of our
domain controllers. From time to time we will run out of
IP addresses in the DHCP scope. When I check the scope
usage to see if we really are "out", I find many entries
that have a invalid Unique ID
(3139322e3136382e372e31393900). After I clear this
entries then the scope returns to normal. Does anyone
have any idea why this might keep recurring. This
happens only from time to time and does not seem to have
a pattern to it.

We do use Microsoft ISA Server 2000 for our VPN
connections but have very little utilization of the VPN.

Thanks,
Wayne Jones
