Removing Addresses From DHCP Service

At times you might want the DHCP service to stop managing a particular address or group of addresses. The method you use to remove an address from DHCP depends on whether you want the change to be temporary or permanent.

• To temporarily prevent the use of addresses, you can mark them unusable in the Address Properties dialog box as described in Marking IP Addresses Unusable by the DHCP Service.

• To permanently prevent the use of addresses by DHCP clients, delete the addresses from the DHCP network tables, as described in Deleting IP Addresses from DHCP Service.
