Hi Pob,

1.You could open the DHCP server console and right-click address lease, click the Export List…

Search the computer name with exported file.

2.Please run command Nslookup to query computer FQDN and get the IP address of computer. Then you will get scope of the computer.

Best Regards

I know this is an old question but I found a better way, assuming you have current windows versions on your DHCP server.  This way exports all the scopes, in my case I have many.  I pipe this to a CSV file and then just do a text search on the results.

Get-DhcpServerv4Scope -ComputerName "dhcpserver.contoso.com" | Get-DhcpServerv4Lease -ComputerName "dhcpserver.contoso.com"

Hello,

Try using Get-DhcpServerv4Lease cmdlet https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj590737%28v=wps.630%29.aspx

thanks for the link...

I wanted to find a pc by name in the DHCP console with multiple scopes...

Probably not doable.
