Windows Server 2016 - DHCP

We have one DHCP server. I have investigated our network and do not see any other device acting as DHCP. Our File Server has the sole DHCP role. Within the DHCP, I am seeing multiple assigned IP addresses without a name association. I am also seeing multiple IP addresses listed with BAD_ADDRESS.

How do I correct these two issues?

    Hello Chris Willis1

    1. assigned IP addresses without a name association

    If there are issues with DNS registration or the DNS server, the hostname may not be associated with the IP address.

    2.BAD_ADDRESS.

    This may be caused by IP address conflict or stale DHCP lease.

    Conflict IP:

    Another device on the network may already be using the IP address that the DHCP server is trying to assign to a client.

    Stale DHCP lease:

    This can happen when devices are removed from the network without properly releasing their leases.

    This can be solved by configuring the server to automatically remove expired leases.
