The network is pretty active in movement and equipment. The problem is that people are bringing devices in. we thought about managing it at the procurve switch but its just too much. We had all the reservations there but had to recently redo the scope when we added 150 computers to the network. Right now we have about 50 procurve switches and the help desk staff is not capable of managing them when they move departments around. What we were doing before was activating the scope, and forcing all mac's into reservation so when we deployed new pc's we would put the reservation in there in advance and then the workstation/device was ready to go. I see I can export the current list with mac address and can massage that pretty quick, but didn't see a decent way to import using netsh commands. Thanks I will poke around on the netsh From: Andrew S.

They request the address they had previously.

We have a 450 user network with all dhcp but need them to not change for some new software. I was hoping I could just right click on the current dhcp lease and convert it to a reservation but no such luck :0 Id rather not have to input 450 mac addresses. Im tinkering with netsh dhcp server to see if anything looks possible but so far nothing good.
