Ok, we are running our DHCP server on Win2k3 server (unable to update, and all it does is DHCP and internal DNS).
We had a power outage yesterday, the server is up and running - but apparently not dishing out IP addresses. The DHCP Server service is "Started" (I have restarted the service _and_ the server itself multiple times).
Computers seems to be running (don't know how they are all DHCP, must be on a previous lease), but I don't know for how long. A /release /renew fails to pull obtain an IP address saying it couldn't contact the DHCP server.
Our printers are on DHCP (reserved IPs to keep them static) and failed to get IP addresses - I have switched them over to manually assigned so we can print.
I am able to ping the DHCP server, and the DHCP server can also ping out to Google.
The fact that there are multiple devices affected (5 printers, and at least 2 computers - don't want to risk testing more and taking them completely offline) make it seems like there should be a common point of failure, most likely the server - but I'm uncertain of what to do next?
Anyone have any ideas?
