This combination makes it almost impossible to trace issues because you don’t know where machines are in a building.  The largest corporate network I have seen this with is 1K machines – and when 100 of them are in the same room, and you have uneducated users, trying to figure out which machine(s) have software broadcast issues, for one example, render this impossible to trace without interrupting everyone’s work to gather the current IP address(es). Do away with NAT and dynamic IPs in your environment and you’ll be MUCH better equipped to deal with network issues.
