Multiple DHCP Server Alert 1068

I have a setup where wired devices are getting DHCP from the domain controller, and wifi devices are getting DHCP (in two different VLANS) from the Sonicwall. Not sure if this is best practice, but it all works fine.

I'm getting repeated alert 1068s from the Sonicwall for "Multiple DHCP Servers are detected on network". Well, yes - there are 2, so that seems right. I cannot find a way to configure the Sonicwall to expect 2 as the normal condition and then alert if it ever detects >2. I think that only leaves the choice to turn off this alert, lest I continue to get spammed with these alerts. The IP address in the alert is the domain controller, so I can only presume (since this alert is not elaborated-upon in any documentation I have found) that the alert is triggered if it finds DHCP traffic going anywhere by the DHCP configuration on the Sonicwall itself. This would lead to the conclusion that this alert doesn't work at all if the Sonicwall isn't doing DHCP at all, but who knows.

I have enabled DHCP Guarding on the switches (Unifi) and specified the 2 known DHCP servers, but that hasn't changed the problem, which seems to support this conclusion.

Am I doing anything wrong here? Is there a configuration I'm missing that would let that alert work as desired?

Since I upgraded all of my clients' units to 7.3.2-7010, I'm seeing this UX problem. Both in the NSM screens and in the NetExtender 2FA screen. Particularly the NetExtender screen is scaring clients - understandably. Posting here to see if it's just me.
