DHCP Service Errors 1002 and 1041 May Be Logged in the System Event Log (298490)

SYMPTOMS

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service may not distribute Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or scope options to requesting client computers. When you examine Event Viewer, the following errors may be logged in the System event log:

Event ID: 1002
Type: Error
Source: DHCPServer
Description: The DHCP service failed to initialize its global parameters. The following error occurred: %%0.

Event ID: 1041
Type: Warning
Source: DHCP Server
Description: The DHCP service is not servicing any clients because none of the active network interfaces have statically configured IP addresses, or there are no active interfaces.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because the DHCP server service is not bound to a statically-configured Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) adapter, which is usually the internal adapter.

NOTE: If the network cable is not attached to the network, Windows will not allow any service to bind to TCP/IP.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, configure the bindings for the DHCP Server service:

Click Start, point to Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click DHCP.
In the DHCP Console, right-click the server object, and then click Properties.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Bindings.
Under Connections and Server Bindings, enable the user interface that is to be used to service DHCP client requests.
Click OK, click OK, and then close the DHCP Console.
Click Start, point to Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
Locate and restart the DHCP server service.

MORE INFORMATION

The DHCP bindings enable you to select the connections that the DHCP server service binds to and uses when it services clients. When the option is selected, the connection is used to service DHCP clients. When the option is not selected, the connection is not used to service DHCP clients.
