Hi

 Event 1016 ; The DHCP service uses a JET database to store configuration and lease information. The service creates a backup copy of its database at a regular interval. Any program or service other than the DHCP service gaining access to the files in the DHCP directory may cause a sharing violation. As a result of the sharing violation,  the DHCP service stops processing all client requests because it requires exclusive access to its database and log files,and you can check this ms article ; https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc774821(v=ws.10).aspx
