I'm no windows user, but AFAIK DHCP logs can be written to files on windows (you have to enable it).

Logs should be written to: %systemroot%\system32\dhcp\dhcpsrvlog\*.log

I haven't tried this out myself as I'm working primarily in Linux, but I found this article online and thought you might find it useful!

Cheers!
