By the time I look at the error the system logs fill up so fast that I can't see the first even ID. Below is the error I see in event viewer. Is there anything else i can do to narrow down this error ? Event Type: Error Event Source: DhcpServer Event Category: None Event ID: 1014 Date: 5/9/2012 Time: 8:26:42 AM User: N/A Computer: Computer Description: The following problem occurred with the Jet database -510: Jet database read or write operations failed. If the computer or database has just been upgraded, then this message can be safely ignored. If this message appears frequently, either there is not enough disk space to complete the operation or the database or backup database may be corrupt. To correct this problem, either free additional space on your hard disk or restore the database. After you restore the database, ensure that conflict detection is enabled in DHCP server properties. For information about restoring the database, see Help and Support Center. Additional Debug Information: DeleteCurrentRecord:Delete.

Have you looked at these articles already? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/173396 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc726907(v=ws.10).aspx http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserverNIS/thread/2291e16b-5515-4819-ba41-baed4c9c1383 BTW this is mostly because of the Indexing service. Please follow these steps to uncheck Indexing service on the DHCP folder and all subfolders. 1. Going to the DHCP folder properties (%systemroot%\System32\Dhcp) 2. On the General tab clicked Advanced 3. Uncheck "For fast searching, allow Indexing Service to index this folder." Try to restart the DHCP service and check it again. Sachin Gadhave (MCP, MCTS)

I restart the service manually and everything works again for say a week and then it crashes. I removed the indexing from the folder and resarted the service. I will monitor the situation.
