| Description | The Jet database returned the following Error: -<number>. |
| Event Information | The DHCP database has been corrupted. RESOLUTION: To recover a corrupted DHCP database, use one of the following methods: a) Restore a backup copy of the database file, Dhcp.mdb -or- b) Generate a new database file using the DHCP Configuration registry key. Restoring a backup copy of the database file is the recommended method because you will not lose information when you use it. According to Microsoft: CAUSE: This event happens when you move the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) database and its backup directories from the default location. When the DHCP server is initially installed, its database is stored in %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DHCP and the backup directory is set to %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DHCP\BACKUP\JET. The DHCP database remembers all attached database directories and files in the SYSTEM.MDB file. If the database and backup directories are moved, the backup fails because it tries to backup the database from the old and new locations, but cannot find the database file in the old location. WORKAROUND: To resolve this problem, upgrade to Windows NT Workstation and Server version 3.51. To work around this problem when you move the database: 1. Copy the original Windows NT SYSTEM.MD_ file from the Windows NT compact disc to your hard drive. 2. Run the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\EXPAND.EXE program to expand SYSTEM.MD_ to SYSTEM.MDB. 3. Copy SYSTEM.MDB to the new database location. |
