Registy change for DHCP scope subnet mask

Hello Scott,

You got a description how to handle in your first posting without the reservations.
So check out this articles about changing settings with a script that you
run with netsh command. Read both of them carefully and i will be sure, that
you can change your reservations to the new scopes without any big effort.
Most settings you can do with copy and paste.
