Event ID: 1051

is pretty good.

In this case it looks like you need to authorise your DHCP server before it will serve out IP addresses.

I am having the same error. I don't want to have a dhcp server on this domain, very small. Do I have to enable it anyway, just to get rid of the error? And if I do need to enable, how to do it. It doesn't come up as available in the console.

The service must be running, since the event source is "DhcpServer"! To uninstall it, go to the Control Panel and Add/Remove Programs. Select Add/Remove Windows Components. Then, look for Networking Services. If you only have a small network, it's likely you don't want anything in here, so uncheck the box and click OK. If you're not sure, click on Details, and you'll see the list of services that may be installed. Uncheck any one you don't want.
