Hello,

I am running a Windows 2000 server will DHCP enabled. I
have several scopes setup for differnet subnets.
Everything si working correctly, but I sometimes see a
couple IP addresses which have been assigned to RAS
clients. The problem is we have no RAS clients on this
server. RAS is not enabled at all.

Any one have any idea why this would be happening?

Thanks,
JHottle
 
RRAS could be installed on some other server on the network. It does not
need to be on the same server as the DHCP Server service. Part of the
unique ID used in those RRAS leases is the actual MAC of the device taking
the leases out, so if you can use netsh to display the clients list, you may
be able to determine which device on the network is taking the addresses. .
..
netsh dhcp server <IP> scope <scopeID> show clients

The first 4 bytes of the ID shows corresponds to 'RAS ', the next 6 bytes
should be the MAC, and the final 3 or 4 are numbers appended to keep the
leases unique.
