Artifact Interpretation

Each interface will have its own dedicated registry key, and may contain the following values of interest:

value type information
DhcpDomain REG_SZ DHCP option 15 - the domain name of the endpoints FQDN
DhcpIPAddress REG_SZ The DHCP - provided IP address of the endpoint
DhcpServer REG_SZ The DHCP server that provided the endpoint its network configuration
EnableDHCP REG_DWORD 0x0 if DHCP is disabled and 0x1 if DHCP is enabled
LeaseObtainedTime REG_DWORD FILETIME timestamp of when the endpoint received a DHCP lease
LeaseTerminatesTime REG_DWORD FILETIME timestamp of when the endpoint's DHCP lease expires
