Hi,

you have 2 dhcp server in the same network?
if yes then the client will get a ip from the faster dhcp server.
you schould use only the asg oder the win dhcp server.

Best,
Hal

Correct, there isn't a means to block DHCP leases based on MAC-addresses currently. Keep in mind that this functionality is relatively recent in DHCP servers. For windows DHCP, this wasn't possible until Server 2008 and then only with an unofficial addon and only became built-in with Server 2008 R2. If you'd like to see DHCP MAC-Address filtering in Astaro, you can enter a feature request at feature.astaro.com.
