Well, I began to have DHCP server problems a few weeks ago. It would seem that every 2-3 days, the service would shut down with a Jetpack error. After trying to reconcile the database and rebuilding one from backup, the problem continued. Per Microsoft’s suggestion, I’ve removed the entire contents of the DHCP folder and that seemed to have solved my problem with it shutting down. Now it became a different problem. The clients reregistered and everything was going smoothly, but now, any new clients that do not have a lease on the IP address, can’t get one. Anyone renewing an IP has no problem, just not getting a new one. The server reports no errors, there are plently of available IPs and I’ve tried using different scopes, with no luck.In some cases, what I have noticed is that even though the client doesn’t get an IP, DHCP server seems to think that it has assigned it one, however, from the wrong scope. Its almost like the client doesn’t get the Ack packet from the DHCP server. Addressing clients manually works fine. Any suggestions? I’d greatly appreciate the help.
