| Type | Error |
| Description | The DHCP service encountered the following error while backing up the database: |
As per Microsoft: "The DHCP service uses a JET database to store configuration and lease information. The service creates a backup copy of its database at a regular interval. Any program or service other than the DHCP service gaining access to the files in the DHCP directory may cause a sharing violation. As a result of the sharing violation, the DHCP service stops processing all client requests because it requires exclusive access to its database and log files".
Based on experience, these fix should work one way or the other.
A. Disable Content Indexing on the DHCP folder:
1. Right click on c:\Windows\System32\DHCP
2. Select Properties >> Advance.
3. Under General tab, uncheck "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed..."
4. Restart DHCP Server service
B. Anti-Virus Exclusions
1. Depends on your Anti-Virus, add DHCP folder to the scan exclusions.
2. Restart DHCP Server service.
