You could try exporting your DHCP using netsh.  Then, import it to a test 
server with clean/blank dhcp installed.  Try changing DNS settings and 
rebooting to see if the problem follows the data.  If not, you *might* then be 
able to remove and clean install DHCP back on your real server and re-import 
the settings into the clean DB.  Keep backups of your current server and DB for 
restoration if this doesn't work.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325473 has the db migration info if you want to 
try this.

Subject: Windows DHCP Server looses DNS


Greetings, List Members.

I have a Windows 2003 R2 Domain Controller running its' DHCP server. It's been 
running as expected forever. But, recently, the server has started to loose the 
DHCP options for DNS Servers after a system reboot. This means that whenever I 
need to reboot the DHCP Server, I must also remember to re-enter the DNS 
options. None of the other DHCP options are being forgotten.

This started to happen about 6 months ago.

Any idea why this is being forgotten? I would have no idea where to start 
looking. General Google searches don't come up with anything.

Thanks for any help.
