    Hi acc,

    Thank you for the post.

    "master" in DHCP lease does also mean name of device which have four network adapters.
    No need to delete any DHCP lease records. DHCP service will delete the stale records by itself.

    If there are more inquiries on this issue, please feel free to let us know.

    Hi acc,

    It means devices (like iphone) are not providing DHCP with a host name. You could just filter these device by MAC address in Windows 2008 DHCP or implement 802.1x authentication to secure your network access.
