Our solution to this problem was similar to that put forward by Glenn Satchell.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We set the lease time to 30secs for the PXE leases with the default being 72 hrs.</div>
<div>We had to increase the available leases in the pool as even at 30 secs to approx 1.5 times the number of expected PCs since if all the PCs in a lab get rebooted at the same time, the lease usage is double the number of PCs. In normal operation we just
get a lot of address churn in the labs but all PCs boot with PXE then Windows and they al get addresses from the pool.<br>
