Length

Value

0=Windows 2000 DHCP clients do not send a DHCPRelease message on proper shutdown.

1=Windows 2000 DHCP clients send a DHCPRelease message on proper shutdown.

Description

This option can be used to control whether DHCP-enabled computers running Windows 2000 send a release for their current DHCP lease to the DHCP server when shutdown occurs. It is actually implemented and interpreted as a bitmasked value by the DHCP client service. In most cases, the default (that is, the functional equivalent to this option value not being used or present in DHCP messages) is that Windows 2000 clients do not send DHCPRelease messages on proper shutdown.
