If this message appears frequently, either there is not enough disk space to complete the operation or the database or backup database may be corrupt. To correct this problem, either free additional space on your hard disk or restore the database. After you restore the database, ensure that conflict detection is enabled in DHCP server properties.

4. DHCP Console
Once the DHCP Console is open you are able to add the Server but as soon as you click on the server you get a red X on it and on the right hand side it says:
The Error Was: The Remote Procedure Call Failed
5. To do list wizards
The wizard Connect to the Internet fails on the first step configuring network, with no additional information.
Conclusion:
Baring in mind I have already rebuilt the DNS according to the Microsoft Article(s), As lots of articles were pointing to a dodgy DNS server, or networking problems. But still not joy.
I think the Remote Procedure Call Failed, but on a serious note does anyone have a solution or solutions, other than a Rebuild?
