Old records of who had what IP etc were out dated and it was hard to know if the current IP was in use or not. Switched to DHCP.

We have 6 sites across the globe. This is the largest of the 6 and we have approx 1000 users here. We go strictly Static. As you said in the article it does take up a little time with the setup. Along with keeping track with who has what IP. We have a Inventory Database that we created which stores all IP info for each PC. But i cant explain the time this has saved us in the long run. We have no IP security worries of any kind. Yes. We do. We have 6 sites across the globe. This is the largest of the 6 and we have approx 1000 users here. We go strictly Static.
