A_DHCP_service_could_not_be_found._1_Rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Management Pack
Summary

The DHCP 2000 Server service failed to start or failed to initialize. Therefore, the DHCP 2000 Server is unavailable and unable to serve client requests.

This condition does not repair itself until the error is fixed.

 
Causes

A DHCP service cannot be found.

 
Resolutions
  1. First, use Services to confirm that the DHCP 2000 Server service, in fact, does not exist or cannot start.
  2. If you continue to receive this error message, try uninstalling and then reinstalling DHCP by using Add/Remove Windows Components in Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. The DHCP subcomponent is part of the Networking Services component.

    Caution

    If you uninstall and then reinstall the DHCP 2000 Server service, you lose your configuration data. Be sure to record your DHCP configuration data so that you can quickly re-configure it.
  3. Restart (reboot) the DHCP 2000 Server.
