I work in a mixed Mac and PC environment, majority PC, and I have DHCP running on 2 servers with different scopes both are Win 2003 Server. The issue that I am having is with the client name in the address lease of the DHCP server.
Some of them come up with a BAD_ADDRESS which is very frequent. The bigger problem is the complete lack of name in the lease. I have noticed the problem because of some monitoring and the IP errors in the Mac’s that have a MAC OS X 10.3.9. For this reason the MAC machines doesn’t have communication to the internet. What I have to do in order to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, you can only have one DHCP server in the same segment otherwise you'll have both DHCP servers responding back to a client that wants an IP address. Try disabling the DHCP service on one of the servers and see if this resolves the issue.
