SYMPTOMS
When an IP address is reserved in a Windows 2000 Domain Host Connection Protocol (DHCP) server, Network Discovery returns the DHCP reservation name instead of the computer's NetBIOS name.

If the DHCP reservation name is not the same as the computer's NetBIOS name, the computer is incorrectly listed in the Systems Management Server Administrator console. The incorrect listing is corrected by the next logon or heartbeat discovery.



WORKAROUND
When specifying the reservation name in DHCP, use the computer's NetBIOS name.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
