the problem is that the DHCP database is corrupt and the DHCP server can't *delete* the file when it need to wipe its backside - *not* find it as the message says.
If I remember correctly, there are two ways to fix it. Both involve first making a written note of any reserved leases you've set up, then stopping the DHCP Server. To be safe, also note all the DHCP scope and option settings. Finally either:
(A) Delete the current database file and replace it with the backup file. However, this may not be a good idea since the backup could also be corrupt. I noticed that the date/time stamps on both were the same so chickened out. Delete file: \System32\dhcp\dhcp.mdb. Replace with: \System32\dhcp\backup\jet\new\dhcp.mdb
(B) Delete the current database file, and then restart the DHCP server. Once restarted, you'll need to manually recreate all of your previous reserved leases. The DHCP Server should pick up the scope and options itself - at least it did with me
