SYMPTOMS
Adding a large number of DHCP reservations (570+) in a single scope will
cause one client to disappear from the list of Active Leases. This makes
the client unmanageable from DHCP Manager. The Resource Kit utility,
Dhcpcmd.exe, also fails to list reservations beyond the 570th one.
CAUSE
The Windows NT 4.0 DHCP service and management tools exhibited a problem
with enumerating large numbers of clients.
RESOLUTION
