We appear to have solved this problem for ourselves by changing the way windows deals with time. Remember, the symptom is we are obtaining a lease from August in 1877. Seems like this is caused by windows using local time rather than UTC. The solution is to change windows to UTC.
Changed the RegKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation and created a new DWORD called RealTimeIsUniversal and set it to one 1. Now, I believe there may be a problem with this when we enter and leave daylight savings, but at this point I have a system that boots and keeps it's IP address. I may be using puppet to change RealTimeIsUniversal back to 0 after everything is working.
