The following files are stored in the \systemroot\SYSTEM32\DHCP directory that is created when you set up a DHCP server:
Caution The DHCP.TMP, DHCP.MDB, JET.LOG, and SYSTEM.MDB files should not be removed or tampered with.
The DHCP database and related Registry entries are backed up automatically at a specific interval (15 minutes by default), based on the value of Registry parameters (as described later in this chapter).
After DHCP has been running for a while, the database might need to be compacted to improve performance. You should compact the DHCP database whenever it approaches 10 MB.
– Or –
At the command prompt, type the net stop dhcpserver command.
Caution Do not compact the SYSTEM.MDB database.
