SYMPTOMS
========
In Chapter 5, Network Services: Enterprise Level, of the Microsoft Windows NT
Server Networking Guide version 4.0 on page 327, it states:
DHCP is a data base that is not automatically replicated. For this reason,
Terra Flora will use the Replicator service, which is a service that is part
of the Windows NT Workstation and Server, to backup the DHCP database and
files to another server...
On page 328, it says in Step 3:
The Replicator service will be used to back up the necessary file stored in
the System32\DHCP\Backup directory to an enterprise/Enterprise Remote server
which is not running the DHCP service.
On page 329, it says in Step 9:
Change the first part of the line to indicate a different physical drive on
the server, such as D:\System32\dhcp\backup.
You can now use the Replicator Service to copy that directory to a backup
server.
These are documentation errors. Using the Directory Replicator Service to back up
DHCP is not the Microsoft recommended way to back up the DHCP database
directory.
If you follow the instructions for using the Directory Replicator service to back
up a DHCP database and files as recommended in the Microsoft Windows NT Server
Networking Guide version 4.0 on pages 327-333, the following errors will
repeatedly appear in the System Event Log of the DHCP server:
Event: 1014
Source: DhcpServer
Description: The JET Database call returned the following Error -1022
Event: 1014
Source: DhcpServer
Description: The JET Database call returned the following error -1032
Event: 1014
Source: DhcpServer
Description: The JET Database call returned the following error -524
Event 1016
Source: DhcpServer
Description: The DHCP server encountered the following error when
backing up the user database with a hex data status of
"2d 4e 00 00 (0x4e2d =20013)"
RESOLUTION
==========
As a workaround, use another method to back up the DHCP database. An example of
an alternative method might be to use the robust copy utility, Robocopy.exe,
provided in the Microsoft resource kit.
