It's been awhile, but I was under the impression that even if a user had a
lease that wasn't expired and booted a machine that tried to contact a DHCP

noted people who are already logged on with unexpired leases would be fine.
Like I said it's been awhile since the Network Admin days of NT, but I'll
have to look that up again.
