Thanks Roy!

Found a note regarding this on
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-dhcpe/fe8a2dd4-1e8c-4546-bacd-4ae10de02058

Was not super clear though,
"The use of this alternate format is indicated by the presence of a Vendor
Class Identifier Option".
Actually I'm sending both vendor/user class as of now... But I don't have
access to a Microsoft dhcp-server my self to test. I'll see if I can set up
something. It's not a to big change to implement msuserclass?
