You should instruct the users to wait a few minutes for the DHCP server to lease new IP addresses to the client computers.
Key Takeaway: The DHCP service was down hence the users could not receive an IP address and hence the APIPA. Now that the DHCP service is restarted, users must wait for the DHCP clients to attempt to locate the DHCP server again. This usually occurs at an interval of 5 minutes.
