James,
There was a post in the following group that I was trying to help with an
issue that the poster could not create a reservation in 2008 DHCP. I know
the thread was in the Windows 2000 group, but it was a Windows 2008 issue. I
though it was a problem with his migrating the DHCP database from 2003 to
2008. He didn't originally post it was in a split scope scenario, and I
didn't think of asking that question. However, he finally contacted PSS, and
they told him that because of the split scope, he could not create a
reservation on the one DHCP server that the IP did not fall in the scope
range on that server. Apparently it was something that was changed in
Windows 2008 DHCP:

I just thought to bring that to your attention, as well as to others
following this thread.
