SYMPTOMS
When a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer that is running the DHCP Server service has a disabled scope that contains reserved clients, a broadcast DHCP request causes the DHCP server to send a negative acknowledgment (NAK) for the request. This behavior is expected. However, after the NAK is sent, the DHCP server tries to delete the Domain Name System (DNS) records for the reserved clients.
