I'm not sure about DHCP scopes - we pretty much use all static IPs except 
laptops.

Thanks for the scripts, they look awesome, but as someone pointed out
in another thread, the ossec-batch-manager.pl script will not work
with dhcp scopes, and errors out with duplicate IP msg.
So I started looking at the client.keys file on the server, and it
looks like you can just extract the line for a particular client, dump
that into a client.keys file and place that in C:\Program
Files\ossec-agent and start the agent.  Testing confirmed this. Which
begs the question: Why the base64 conversion when you extract the key
using manage-agents?  What is being used to generate the key in
client.keys?  It seems if that mechanism could be used, a simple bash
script could generate the server side client.keys file, and all the
client side single entry files.
