How to distribute ISNS server settings to clients (DHCP, GPO)


have bunch of w7 clients using ms iscsi target on w2008 r2 server backup purposes. there isns server running @ same machine. clients seem drop isns initiator registration randomly. found isnscli.exe registerdhcpoption thinking might serve isns server settings via dhcp. @ least says

"configure isns dhcp option on available microsoft dhcp servers. command succeed, you
must logged in dhcp server administrator."

running isnscli registerdhcpoption seems produce broken entry on 2008 r2 dhcp server scope (cannot viewed/edited or anything) not seem have effect. so, considering that:

- google found 0 references wrt functionality, except 2 pages documenting isnscli.exe options (verbatim copy of isnscli /?)

- dhcp option not seem standardized

my question - has ever worked, or experimental leftover or what? way distribute isns server settings client computers via gpo? cannot find in iscsi group policy template.

noone? client or server issue? why initiators dropping registration time? meanwhile, discovered iscsicli.exe options like addisnsserver, removeisnsserver, refreshisnsserver used if else fails (logon batch, scheduled tasks etc.) not fix issue @ hand.

plus, when run iscsicli refreshisnsserver <isns server address>, fails first time msisns warning (eventid 3):

isns encountered protocol or other error isns error code 0x00000006. eventlog data contains isns request contains protocol error.

again, not useful , hardly usefully documented anywhere. when run second time, succeeds , initiator registers again isns server couple of hours/days.
