ELA and DHCP with workstation logs
Does anyone else have an issue with the way ELA stores both the DNS name and the IP address to identify a workstation? I have an issue in which when a new computer gets a previous IP address that was used with a registered computer, I can not add the workstation because it states the computer already exists. There are situation that once a workstation is registered, it might receive a new IP address later (nature of dhcp), I am unable to add a new computer because it received the previous IP address. I submitted a ticket on this but support told me it is working as designed. I have a hard time believing no one else is experiencing this issue.
ELA works fine for my servers as they usually get a static address and their IP address never change but workstation are proving to very difficult to manage. And you cannot delete the workstation host to re-add them with their new IP address from ELA as it will delete all logs and archive files.

Am I alone in this frustration?
