We are running a 2000 server, standalone, and have DHCP running on it. We have an issue where DHCP stopped running and not matter what we try we only receive an error 127, the service can not be started. Tried to uninstall, reboot, reinstall, jet repair, etc. I have found no articles anywhere on this error.
Event Log looks like this

Source: Service Control Manage
Event ID: 702

The DHCP Server service terminated with the following error: The specified procedure could not be foun

Can anyone help

Hello All,

If you follow the articles and you still get the 127 errors you may have to
try this:

Run the command "SFC /PURGECACHE" to scan all protected system files and
replace
incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

Then use regsvr32 to reregister all of the base DHCP dlls. It might be
easier for you to un-install and re-install the DHCP service.

regsvr32 Dhcpcsvc.dll
regsvr32 dhcpssvc.dll
regsvr32 mdhcp.dll
regsvr32 dhcpmon.dll
regsvr32 dhcpsapi.dll
