Re: Sudden Issues with DHCP & Remote Access

I think that I have found what may have caused the problem, but still do not
have a fix. One of the new users decided to turn her workstation a server for
connecting other computers, installed old netbeui protocols and a slew of
other old stuff into a network connection. This somehow corrupted the sbs
function and when i went to run the wizard, found that the server could not
run it.

How do I get RRAS wizard to run again, and how do I get the workstations to
recognize the DCHP function on it? I'm worried that the older fixes that
applied may cause damage if applied today.

In one fix there were instructions to change the path of the clientapps
folder in the registry. The registry entry describing where the ClientApps
folder is, is not even there. I did not want to create it because there was
no documention stating that I should, only to change it.

Something to try... Stop the DHCP service, disable RRAS (from within the
RRAS console), then re-run CEICW and reboot the workstations.

Event ID: 20169 Source: RemoteAccess

Unable to contact a DHCP Server, The Automatic IP Address 169.254.45.156
will be assigned to dial in clients. Clients may not be able to access
resources on the network.

The issue here is that these are not Dial In clients, these are LAN
attached
Domain member workstations, and they're getting private IP address.

DHCP server is up and running. Remote Access services are up and running.
ALL default wizard results.

Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard. Windows XP Professional
workstations, all with latest service packs and patches.

We did have an electrical outage and the batteries did not hold long
enough
to allow a proper shutdown, but doubt that may have anything to do with
it.

I need a quick fix for this. Thanks for any assistance.

When I restart DHCP, it says it needs to be authorized, when I
right-click,
my options are to unauthorize, and when I click that, it states The
Parameter
is incorrect. After a few minutes it goes into green.
