I have seen this issue when a system is connected to an external test board (engineering shop). The system the board is connected to hands out or picks up an address for the board. We also see this on our PBX management console PC. It seems to try to pick up addresses for the PBX ports for some reason. We just delete the Bad address entries.

We have a DHCP scope that is used just for automated server builds. Getting a bunch of BAD_ADDRESS conflicts in the DHCP console. The Unique ID field shows an 8 digit string not the 12 of a MAC address. I can not ping any of the IP addresses that are supposedly in use, that DHCP thinks are bad. I've found a few posts that talk about this being Wireless Access Points or possibly a OS X client that is configured incorrectly. Of course our network guys insist it's none of those things and it must be a Windows server. I don't see any reference in the Event Logs or the DHCP logs that indicate what these machines are? This post is similar to what we are seeing: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Windows_Networking/Q_22032213 .html Any suggestions?
