DHCP Bad_Address Problem whith Macintoch OS X

Expand Post »

I work in a mixed Mac and PC environment, majority PC, and I have DHCP running on 2 servers with different scopes both are Win 2003 Server. The issue that I am having is with the client name in the address lease of the DHCP server.
Some of them come up with a BAD_ADDRESS which is very frequent. The bigger problem is the complete lack of name in the lease. I have noticed the problem because of some monitoring and the IP errors in the Mac’s that have a MAC OS X 10.3.9. For this reason the MAC machines doesn’t have communication to the internet. What I have to do in order to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

In order for the name service to work properly, the DHCP client ID and the "Sharing name" should be the same on the Macs. And naturally they should not include spaces or non-alphanumeric characters.
