SBS 2011 DCHP & Certificate issues

HI

This is a new SBS 2011 Std installation - not migration. Running since 16th October 2012
The server was fine with DNS and DHCP configured and working but the prefered router was not present (out of stock)

Have now added Cisco Small Business RV042G router and configured ports and firewall etc. But wanted to move the DHCP from router to Server to conform to Microsoft recommended config and also the computers can be added to the domain, see all the services on the server etc

1/11/2012 15:00 started the amendment

Disabled the DHCP on the router.
Ran "Connect to the Internet" (for the first time from the SBS console) it worked through picked up the Default router x.x.x.1 and SBS server x.x.x.2 ok

But when I checked the DHCP it was not running.
DNS working ok - little changed except additional IPv6 addresses added.

When tried to activate the DHCP server it failed.
Action - Manage authorised servers - found two entries

127.0.0.1
x.x.x.2

deactivated both and activated the x.x.x.2 which appeared to work.

started the DHCP from the DHCP console, but this stopped after a few seconds.
See attached for the error Cannot find the DHCP Server

I ran the >Network >Connectivity >Fix My Network (from SBS console)

this works through 1. (fails to connect to router) 2. DHCP not started - says it has fixed it but still the same.

In AD site & services

viewing the NetServices
shows up two entries

DhcpRoot dHCPClass (type)
server.domain.local dHCPClass (type)

I reviewed a number of searched sites and microsoft manuals on the issue but found nothing that matched this issue and situation exactly.

I rebooted the server to see if this would clear anything but still the same but other issues raised when checking the logs there are a number of error that where not present before running connect to the Internet.

Certificate 99 error - could not create cross certificate (0-1) to certify its own root certificate
Certification Authority 91 - Could not connect to Active Directory

Looking for some pointers on how to resolve and fix the route of this so everything come backs to function and moves on with DHCP working on the SBS 2011.

The server has live data and is in production.

I do have a full backup with windows backup so could restore to 31/10/2012 if that is the best option. The Business Data is on a seperate drive so could be left alone.

looks like your AD is not working. most issues come from DNS. what DNS settings are there on the SBS server?

run dcdiag and paste output here

This sounds like a DNS issue. An IPConfig /all could be helpful.
