DHCP MMC - A way to search?
I need a simple way of searching our DHCP server for a specific MAC address. Any thoughts?

Not by using the DHCP MMC console. A custom solution would be in order. Maybe a login script that captures this information and writes back to a database table. Or, if you enable the DHCP logs, you can have a program open the logs and perform
a search..., or a 3rd party application that integrates with DHCP. Guides and tutorials, visit

Okay. A 3rd party application sounds most promissing. Any ideas about a "proper" admin tool for MS DHCP on W2k8 R2?

Hi MHaahr,
Thanks for posting here.
Extending DHCP server management console by customizing plug-in program with DHCP API will help us to achieve the goal. A sample could be acquired form the link below:

Better to post to MSDN forum in order to get the most professional responses.
