Re: DHCP issuing 2 or more to clients/servers


All of these PCs and servers I setup from scratch. I don't even look at RRAS
when I setup the OS. Where is that located in there? I just check the server
and pc that I have turned it off and had set it to disable and discovered it
to be back on again.You were saying that it could be in group policy. Where
is that located in there?

Just to let you know what I did, I found the RRAS service started and once
I
turned it off, it released the xtra IPs. It looks like the default is the
RRAS service is active even if it is unconfigured and pull extra IP from
the
DHCP server. The XP/Vista Workstations are setup the same way. I would
consider this to be a bad desing flaw as on a network you would have to
either remember to only allow half of pcs per number of IPs allocated to
the
subnet or disable the RASS service on every single PC/server on the
subnet.

By default, the service is disabled, unless it is configured using the RRAS
console. So IMHO, I believe it was configured at one point, but for some
reason when it was turned off using the console, the service continued to
come up automatically, otherwise this wouldn't have occured in a default
installation.

By default, yes, when RRAS is configured and started, it will pull blocks of
10 IPs at a time as needed for RRAS clients.

If you are saying that you are finding your machines to have RRAS service
set to automatic and are started, is there some sort of GPO or other policy
or app that is installed that is turning it on?

Are your machines installed based on an image that the RRAS service was set
to automatic?

Like I said, by default it is disabled on servers and desktop operating
systems with fresh installs.
