Need a sanity check.
We have a new IT group managing Windows endpoints and they are pushing for us to add IP helper statements pointing to their servers because "DHCP doesn't work" ... OK sigh.
I suspect they're coming across blog posts like this one as confirmation that the network is the problem:
My understanding was that Windows 10 rarely needed to be re-imaged if properly managed but I'm not really a Windows person.
Networks that have a significant Windows PC deployment (> 1000) do you support PXE boot for Windows imaging? Do you do so through DHCP options or IP helpers? How often do you re-image? We don't use AD for DHCP (we use our IPAM and DDI solution) so we're reluctant to point helpers at what is potentially a rogue DHCP server.
Trying to get a sense of how common this practice is and if we're being unreasonable in our reluctance to be accommodating to this.
P.S. Please be honest and don't chime in with "It works fine everyone is doing it" if you only run a smaller network.
