Windows – DHCP Search ip address/hostname

dhcpdhcp-serverwindowswindows-server-2008windows-server-2008-r2

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.

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
