DHCPADMN.EXE Reports Incorrect Server Configuration
ID: Q138124
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51
-
Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51
SYMPTOMS
If you install the DHCP Administrator Program (DHCPADMN.EXE) from the
Windows NT Server 3.51 compact disc, using the SETUP.BAT file in
\CLIENTS\SRVTOOLS\WINNT directory, you experience erratic results while
administering remote DHCP servers. Results from selecting a valid DHCP
Scope may be one or more of the following:
- All configuration options are displayed.
- No configuration options are displayed.
- The correct configuration options are displayed.
The display problems do not happen when your computer is connected to all
remote DHCP servers, however, if the problem occurs with a particular
remote server it is persistent and always occurs with that same server.
Using DHCPADMN.EXE locally on the DHCP server displays the correct
configuration.
CAUSE
The DHCPSAPI.DLL file located in the following subdirectories of the
Windows NT Server 3.51 compact disc is corrupt:
\CLIENTS\SRVTOOLS\WINNT\I386
\CLIENTS\SRVTOOLS\WINNT\MIPS
\CLIENTS\SRVTOOLS\WINNT\ALPHA
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, install the fix mentioned below.
To work around this problem, do one of the following:
- From a computer of the same processor type that is running Windows NT
3.51 DHCP without this problem, copy the
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DHCPSAPI.DLL file to your SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32
directory. Make sure that this DHCPSAPI.DLL was not installed using the
SETUP.BAT file mentioned above.
-or-
- Replace your corrupt DHCPSAPI.DLL with the uncorrupted file version on
the Windows NT Server 3.51 compact disc in the \I386, \MIPS, and \ALPHA
subdirectories:
- Insert the Windows NT Server 3.51 compact disc into your CD-ROM
drive.
- In Windows NT File Manager, display the contents of one of the
following subdirectories that corresponds to the processor on your
computer:
\I386
\MIPS
\ALPHA
- Copy the DHCPSAPI.DL_ file to a temporary subdirectory on your hard
drive.
- Type the following command and press the Enter key:
expand dhcpsapi.dl_ dhcpsapi.dll
- Replace the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DHCPSAPI.DLL file on the local
workstation with the DHCPSAPI.DLL you just expanded.
