Re: DHCP Object Will Not Unauthorize or Delete

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I just located a KB on how to regenerate a DHCP database file and did so by
stoping the DHCP service and deleting the contents of the DHCP folder under
windows/system32/dhcp.

The database re-created itself when the service was restarted but I'm still
stuck with the additonal entry and error "Server [15-881-279-288.pajo.com]
Address [288.279.881.15] Ds location: cn=15-881-279-288.pajo.com" There is
no such object on the server.

Where else can this value be stored?
