A new version of the Windows Server 2012 DCHP MP has been released version 6.0.7299.0 is available for download here.
Fixed in this version:
In a DHCP server with multiple scopes, if the first scope exceeds the threshold for minimum available addresses, alerts are sent for all scopes on the DHCP server even for the ones that don’t violate the threshold. The fix ensures that alerts are sent only for the scope exceeding the threshold.
