DHCP not Working - SBS 2011

I'm currently nearing the end of a SBS 2003 to 2011 migration, which has gone reasonably well, I've been following dematzer's sbs 2003 to 2011 migration guide and, I'm curently at the last part of the migration which will be uninstall Exchange 2003 and then check that the remaining transfer roles have gone across.

I do have an issue with DHCP though.

It would appear that although the DHCP 'role' has gone across to the SBS 2011 - DHCP isn't working and clients don't get an automatic address.

For the time being I've set up clients as static, however, before continuing on, I'd like to get this issue sorted.

Fix my network doesn't show and issues, nor does application or system logs.

So the only 'symptoms' I appear to have are that DHCP is not working.

I've turned off DHCP on the SBS 2003 box - however, this makes no difference.

Please help.

Open the services administrative too and check the status of the DHCP Server service. If it is not running, try starting it, then refresh the screen and see if it STAYED running. If it failed to start, or if it started then stopped, view the Applications event log using the Event Viewer administrative tool and look for events from the service.
