DHCP issues

[unclerico]

I came into work this morning with an angry group of people not being able to access anything on the network. I ended up tracking it back to DHCP not functioning correctly so I restarted the DHCP Server service and all is good now, however, I was wondering if any of you may have seen errors like the ones below before and if so what you determined the cause was. Antivirus scanners and backups do not hit this directory. Thanks.

Possibly a data corruption due to hard disk problems. When is the last time you rebooted and did a CHKDSK /F? How about the last time you did a defrag?

I hope you find this post helpful.
