Getting number of DCHP Leases with WMI
Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain the number of current DHCP
leases using WMI? I can't find any info on this so far and there is no DHCP object listed in my WMI namespace list. Also, I'd like to be able to get a count of Computer and Domain Controller objects from the AD (this may actually be easier).

You can bind to the domain using ADSI with something like this: oDomain = GetObject("WinNT://domain") I think you are correct (no WMI MOF [interface] for dhcp service),
apparently you can custom build one for extracting data from the registry though (will find some time between now and the end of time to look into this further). I'll do reading on the netsh command line tool over the next week or two to see if I can use it. Does anyone know if the lease list is stored in a locally accessible/readable file somewhere? All I want is to know the total number of DHCP leases issued by all the DHCP servers. As in: Server1: 5 leases Server2: 13 leases Total: 18 Leases I don't need any other info and don't need to make any changes, etc. I'm OK with running a script once per server too. Come to think of it, would this info be stored in the AD somewhere (after all the DHCP server is authorized there)? I doubt it is but maybe someone may have gone down this path before and found a way to do this already.
