Hi,

Showing Yellow exclamation point over server scope in dhcp.(Windows Server 2003)
There are the statistics:

Total Addresses: 506

In Use: 378 (78%)

Available: 109 (21%)

In url:

It means,

DHCP server warning. Available addresses for server scopes are 90 percent or more leased and in use. This means that the server is nearly depleted of available addresses to lease to clients.

But still we are at 78% only.

Hello Kumar,

What does the eventviewer say. Normally it willl tell you about any issues with your scope.

Kumar,

Just delete those not active anymore.

And maybe limit your lease time, if your scope intents to get full
