Disabling old scope.. creating new one (2003 DHCP).. clients affected?

I cant recall the answer to this one:

what happens if i disable a scope and create a new scope.. any
machines with ip addresses already? will they auto reconnect and get
a new one when the new scope is active or will they need to be
shutdown then restarted?

I have one user worried they wont be able to remote desktop via vpn to
their machine after i make this change tonight (without first shutting
off the machine and restarting it).

Anyone know/recall what will happen in this event.

(My original scope range will be changed, after i disable the old
scope, then creating the new one).

Thanks for any responses...

After we disable the scope and the Client machine will not be able to renew
the address and would start the Discover sequence again.
This time it will get the IP from the new scope.

The machine need not be restarted, but if the lease expires by then, then
the machine will have a new IP address to which the user will not be able to
TS.
But Still the machine should be reachable by machine name, coz once you VPN
you are the part of Corp Network.

Thanks,
