DHCP Search ip address/hostname

Question

In the context of a Service Desk, the engineers have to lookup the IP addresses in the DHCP server a lot. For example to use a VNC viewer.

I can't find a tool on the internet that actually makes it possible to search for an ip address, hostname or mac address in the leased addresses.

Solution

You can use the following PowerShell cmdlet:

Get-DhcpServerv4Lease

example:

Get-DhcpServerv4Lease -ScopeId 192.168.1.0 |Where-Object {$_.IPAddress -eq "192.168.1.100"}

What I would do is schedule the creation of a CSV file regularly so the Service Desk team can easily search in it:

Get-DhcpServerv4Lease -ScopeId 192.168.1.0 |Export-Csv -Path \\myFileServer\DHCPInfo\dhcp.csv -NoTypeInformation

Thank you, this might be a very viable option. I'll try to implement it has quickly as possible and post the results here.
