DHCP superscope only assigns addresses from one subscope

Hello all,

Since a couple of weeks I'm at loss with a Windows 2003 Server (Standard
Edition) with DHCP service enabled. I made a superscope containing two
subscopes. I'll refer to them as "first" and "second" scope.

When running, the DHCP server gives out leases from the first scope
only, until no more addresses are available in this subscope. The server
then begins giving out leases from the second subscope. In the Event
Viewer, every hour a log entry is created saying: "Scope, 192.168.1.0,
is 100 percent full with only 0 IP addresses remaining."

Is it normal that the DHCP server gives out all leases from one
subscope? Shouldn't it give out leases from all scopes about equally?
And why are the system events occuring when in fact there's nothing to
worry about? I'd really like the server to give out leases from both
subscopes equally and especially avoiding the system events and the blue
exclamation mark in DHCP manager.

Thanks for your replies and hints.

Bye,
marco

Why do you have two Scopes within a Superscope in the first place?
