DHCP errors after installing a 'Windows Update'

Hi,

Our Win2k server has suddenly developed DHCP problems I
believe as a result of a recent Win2k update. The result
is that every Monday morning, our few Windows XP Pro PC's
fail to logon. If I restart the server, they're fine until
the next Monday comes along.

The error messages in the log's are no's 1010,1014,1016 &
1037,1038,1039. Looking on the support site, it seemed the
Jet database was some how corrupted. I've just generated a
new database following the instructions in Q173396 and
there is now an error 1044 on the log. Also, in the DHCP
MMC the window is prompting for the server to be
authorised in Active Directory. This seems to fail as the
window does not update on refresh. If you run authorise
again, it tells you the server is already authorised.

Any ideas?

Cheers
 
Are all W2K's and XP's fully patched?
Sometimes you need to hit the refreshbutton 5 times before it will
authorize.

Windows 2000 DHCP Servers take a few seconds to run through the
authorization check process. . .
Fail to logon? Have you verified that the problem resides with the DHCP
Server? Have you verified that the failing clients are not able to get IP
addresses?

Here's your event messages (you should see something similar in the event
text):

These are errors, and tend to indicate something is wrong with the database,
though JET is usually pretty robust and can recover from minor issues:
1010
The DHCP service encountered the following error while cleaning up the
database: ???
(??? is the error code returned by JET)
1014
The following problem occurred with the Jet database ???:
Jet database read or write operations failed. If the computer
or database has just been upgraded, then this message can be
safely ignored. If this message appears frequently, either there
is not enough disk space to complete the operation or the database
or backup database may be corrupt. To correct this problem,
either free additional space on your hard disk or restore the
database. After you restore the database, ensure that conflict
detection is enabled in DHCP server properties. For information
about restoring the database, see Help and Support Center.
(??? is the error code returned by JET)
1016
The DHCP service encountered the following error when
backing up the database: ???

(??? is the error code returned by JET)

These errors can be caused by any number of things, from a failing hard
drive to the service not getting shut down properly. It is good to check
for disk-related events around the time these started occurring.


These events are all part of normal operations,
and are actually Information Events, last I checked (not Errors):
1037
The DHCP service has started to clean up the database.
1038
The DHCP service has cleaned up the database for unicast
IP addresses -- ??? leases have been recovered and ??? records
have been removed from the database.
(where ??? are replaced with the actual values)
1039
The DHCP service has cleaned up the database for multicast
IP addresses -- ??? leases have expired (been marked for deletion)
and ??? records have been removed from the database.
(where ??? are replaced with the actual values)
1044
The DHCP/BINL service on the local machine, belonging to the Windows
Administrative domain ???, has determined that it is authorized to start.
It is servicing clients now.
(where ??? is the domain name)

Hope this helps some.
