DHCP Server Database Corruption

Error on DHCP server running on Windows Server 2008 (DC)



Fix:
run cmd as administrator
  • net stop dhcpserver
  • cd \windows\system32\dhcp\
  • jetpack dhcp.mdb temp.mdb (this copies the existing database, compacts it then copies it back to the original location.
  • net start dhcpserver 
What is jetpack?

Utility to pack/defrag and run maintenance on dhcp.
Jetpack.exe is located in c:\windows\system32\
