Within the same subnet. We only have 1/3 of the subnet in the pool but used
to have reservations outside of it.
In 2003 and 2008 you could put reservations outside the dynamic area, in
2008R2 that is now denied with the error "The specified DHCP client is not
a reserved host." If you import an existing database using
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281626 you still get the message trying to
edit an exiting reservation not in the dynamic area. Creating reservations
in the dynamic area works.

How out of range are you talking?
This limit came in around 2003, IIRC, and the way to get around it is to
increase the scope (or set it to the full netblock that you're concerned
about) and then set exceptions to keep the operative range in the right
area.
Now, you can use reservations outside the dynamic area.

Trying not to rant but seeing the absolutely useless message "The
specified
DHCP client is not a reserved host." doesn't help.
Anyone know of a way (reg key) that will let you create reservations
outside
of the scope?
Anyone know why this retrograde limit has been imposed?
I like DHCP reservations- they are self documenting and handle DNS
registration properly. I also like to be able to assign addresses out of
the
scope as it lets you where things are going at a glance- having standards
makes this easy. All this backwards step does is make me want to use
static
addresses again..
I thought I'd be able to cheat and just import the DB with out-of-range
addresses in it but no such luck.
Not so chuffed,
