SMS: NetDisc Fails to Discover Static IP Addresses Reserved and Assigned by DHCPID: Q236036
|
When using Network Discovery with Systems Management Server to locate system resources on a network, those clients that have DHCP reservations are not discovered.
Network Discovery interrogates the DHCP server for information regarding devices present on the network. The data requested does not include data corresponding to DHCP reservations.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0. This problem has been corrected in the
latest U.S. service pack for Systems Management Server version 2.0. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
