Syntax

Get-DhcpServerv4FreeIPAddress
   [-ComputerName <String>]
   [-ScopeId] <IPAddress>
   [[-NumAddress] <UInt32>]

Description

This Get-DhcpServerv4FreeIPAddress cmdlet gets one or more free IP addresses from the specified scope.

If you specify the NumAddress parameter, the requested number of free IPv4 addresses are returned. If you do not specify the NumAddress parameter, a single free IP address is returned. The maximum number of free IP addresses returned is capped at 1024.

If you specify the StartAddress parameter and not the EndAddress parameter, the free IP addresses starting from the StartAddress parameter value through the end of the IP address range of the scope are returned.

If you specify the EndAddress parameter and not the StartAddress parameter, the free IP addresses starting from the start of the IP address range of the scope through the EndAddress parameter value are returned.

If you specify both the StartAddress and EndAddress parameters, the free IP addresses between the StartAddress and EndAddress parameter values are returned.

The exclusion address ranges, reservations, active, offered, and bad, or declined, leases are excluded while returning the free IP addresses.

The IP address ranges associated with a policy are included while returning the free IP addresses.

The IP addresses which are in expired, or doomed, state will be included while returning the free IP addresses.

If the requested number of free IP addresses could not be found, this cmdlet displays a warning.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.
