Well, I would bet that it means (surprise) that the DHCP address pool has been exhausted. You need to shorten the lease duration on your server so that addresses are recycled faster. Check permission on the DHCP-related items, to make sure it can write the database okay. In the meantime you are SOL unless you can explicitly expire addresses you know are unused.
