sbs 2003 ip shortage

bremner · 09-10-2008, 05:20 AM

I keep getting 1020 warnings in my event viewer about a shortage of ip's. running SBS 2003 is it just a matter of changing the subnet to increase the range or is it more complicated than that.

Thanks

hi, firstly can you tell me how many computers/devices you have, and also find out where your IP address leases start and finish. you shouldnt be running out of leases or you wouldnt really be using a SBS server.

in the DHCP console you should just have to change the subnet.

it may also be worth checking where all the addresses are going, and also leave a gap at the start incase you need to statically assign addresses.

hope my ramblings have made some sort of sence, if not let me know

Hi Muz you were spot on, I found that the person who installed the server had only allowed a range of 20 ip's to be assigned dynamically. I have changed this and it has fixed the problem. Thanks for your help
