script DHCP Leas Duration

I need a script to change the lease period for a DHCP scope on a windows 2003
server.

I have scripts to install DHCP and configure the scope and Options using
NETSH but there does not seem to be an option for changing the lease period

You can use netsh to configure the lease time for each scope.

dhcp server scope <scope subnet> set optionvalue 51 DWORD <Lease Time in
Seconds>

If you get an error around the invalid option value, you can run the
following prior to running the above command:

dhcp server <server IP> Add Optiondef 51 "Lease" DWORD 0 comment="Client
IP address lease time in seconds" 0

The easiest way to figure this stuff out is to configure one scope manually
on a DHCP server and then run the following command on the DHCP server to
get a complete dump of the configuration of the DHCP server:
netsh dhcp server 127.0.0.1 dump > DHCP.cfg

Charles
