It was about to offer the IP address "192.168.101.17" to a DHCP-requesting workstation, but then the server discovered that said IP is in use elsewhere in the network. Thusly, it "abandoned" it. IIRC, an abandond IP is marked as "do not offer this IP to future workstations". This behavior keeps two DHCP servers from tripping over each other. Very useful feature while you're migrating from an old server to a new one. Alternately, someone else on your network is setting a static IP that they didn't report to you.
