Assign reservations IP to the MAC address's through your DHCP client on
what ever OS you are running.. Donot assign any IP's to any not hardcoded
address's.
It is alot of work to do manualy but if you build a script it should not
be that hard.
If you are using Windows NT/2000/.NET DHCP you can write an ADSI script
which will pull what machines have IP's now and you can pull what there IP
is, what there mac is then write it back out to Active Directories Database.
If your doing it on a UNIX platform I do not know how to write it out
but it has to be fairly easy.
Thanks
