Using DHCPCMD to Modify a Reservation Converts It to a Lease (198541)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0
This article was previously published under Q198541 SYMPTOMS
When you use the DHCPCMD command ADDRESERVEDIP to modify an existing
reservation, error 20022 (ERROR_DHCP_RESERVEDIP_EXISTS) is returned. When
you subsequently inspect the reservation using DHCP ADMIN, the reservation
has been turned into an active lease. If DHCPCMD is run again to modify the
lease, it works correctly and is turned back into a reservation.
CAUSE
This is a problem in DHCP server, which incorrectly handles the
modification of an existing reservation, causing the reservation to be
partially deleted. This results in the remaining data looking like an
active lease.
Running the same command again causes the reservation to be correctly re-
added.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or
the individual software update. For information on obtaining the
