Explanation

Recovery: Restoring DHCP Database from Backup: If the DHCP server database becomes corrupted or is lost, simple recovery is possible by replacing the server database file (Dhcp.mdb), located in the % SystemRoot %\System32\Dhcp folder, with a backup copy of the same file. You can then perform a simple file copy to overwrite the current corrupted database with a backup copy of the same file. If DHCP Manager has been used previously to enable backup, you can obtain the backup copy of the server database file located in the % SystemRoot %\System32\Dhcp\Backup folder. As an option, you can also choose to restore the Dhcp.mdb file from a tape backup or other backup Before restoring the database file from backup, the DHCP service must first be stopped. Once you have copied the backup file to the % SystemRoot %\System32\Dhcp folder you're your preferred backup source, you can restart the DHCP service. To stop the DHCP server service, type the following at a command prompt: net stop dhcpserver Once the DHCP service has been stopped, the following procedure can be used to safely restore a backup copy of the database from either backup media or the DHCP service backup folder. First, move the files from your existing DHCP folder to a different folder location, such as \Olddhcp. Be careful to keep the DHCP folder structure intact. For example, type the following set of commands at a command prompt to perform this step: md c:\Olddhcp move % SystemRoot % \system32\DHCP*.* C:\Olddhcp Next, remove the corrupted server database file. This can also be done at the command prompt: del % SystemRoot % \system32\DHCP\Dhcp.mdb You can then copy the backup database file into the DHCP service folder. The path to be used when performing the actual copy operation varies (as shown in Table 4.15), depending on the specific server version of Windows running on the computer where the DHCP database file is
