Please check first your server IP settings. You can see the recommendations I have shared here: http://www.ahmedmalek.com/web/fr/articles.asp?artid=23

Probably the server is unable to locate itself as a DC.

Hi faisal997，

In addition to the above, is the DC multihomed? It is not recommended to make DC multihomed, it may cause some odd issues.

Best Regards,

Results seems to be OK,if possiible just migrate dhcp role on a member server.then configure dhcp failover cluster for redundancy.

Check for dhcp migration ; https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/23549-exporting-and-importing-dhcp-database-on-windows-server
