- Did you look into the OMAPI thing?
- Because no one needed and implemented it.
- Because most ideas from MSFT are of questionable value if you do not
happen
  to fit to their idea of operation of the service (which implies
usually SOHO
  setups).
  See: ISC-dhcpd is (similar to other daemons) configured with a textual
config
  file. This has the advantage that you can edit it almost anywhere with
any
  editor, put it into a SCM, generate it easily from templates or
scripts (which
  are done in minutes and can grow if the need grows - no need to
program or buy
  some fat "provisioning application").
  And you really *want* that if you have more then 5 hosts on it.
  And the first interesting question is therefore: What happens with
  run-time changed values in such an environment?
