Server 2008 R2 DHCP reservations

[phoenix79]

We recently migrated from server 2003 to 2008 R2. In 2003 we had
several DHCP reservations in the xxx.xxx.xxx.0-89 range and the rest
of the subnet was DHCP. I used the server migration tools to move all
DHCP settings. 2003 let us start the scope from .90 to .250 and still
reserve .1 to .89. 2008 R2 won't let us make any new reservations in
this space but kept all the reservations that were already there
before migration. Am I correct in thinking that all I need to do is
expand the scope to cover the entire subnet and then exclude the .1
to .89 range from the address pool and we'll be able to reserve those
addresses again? Thanks for the help!!!

Yea, you can't reserve addresses that aren't in the DHCP range because you just told the DHCP server not to manage them.
