DHCP won't authorize

After I configured RRAS on my server, the DHCP would not
authorize. I tried to authorize it in AD, but it returned
the following message:

"The specified servers are already present in the
Directory Service"

I looked at Technet and they say to delete the current
DHCP in AD Sites and Services, but I cannot find it
there. Can anybody help me?

Even though I have some training, I do not have much "real
world" experience except for what I am doing here at home
on my mini network.

You can use the command line netsh.

Start netsh within the command line and then type the follow to list DHCP
servers within AD.

dhcp show server

and the follow to delete a particular server

dhcp delete server server.domain.com

I tried it and was successful in deleting the server
(verified with DHCP SHOW SERVER). But, when I tried to
authorize the DHCP server again, it shows up in the list,
but still got the red dot next to the server in the
console.

I even deleted the server from the console and re-created
it.
