I seem to have a problem with DHCP assigning leased addresses to new workstations and attempting to 'steal' addresses that were previously assigned. Before I migrated to SBS 2033 from SBS, I was using static IP addresses for all workstations, but thought DHCP would make my life easier. I noticed that in my address pool, the address range for distribution covers all of my IP addresses 192.168.34.1 - 192.168.34.254. Does that mean that DHCP will try to assign an address even if it has already been assigned as a static address?
 
I have also noticed that DHCP is showing 'BAD_ADDRESS' for certain IP addresses. What does that mean? Can I safely delete those entries?
 
Any help gratefully received.

You have to re setup your dhcp pool. Change the scope for only ranges NOT covered by your static assigments otherwise as it is setup now yes dhcp will grab everything.
