Re: DNS Server Refuses Updates from DHCP

Is that zone accepting dynamic updates?
Have you assigned a user account with a non-expiring password in the DHCP
scope properties for the DHCP server to authenticate with the DNS server?
Or
did you change that password recently?
are you seeing errors in eventvwr.
You can also run network monitor to check what is going on...

Is the only requirement for the domain account that runs DHCP that it be in
the DNS Updates reserved group on the domain controller? What is the
absolute minimum permissions that this service account must have?

I really hate to run services as domain accounts, since Microsoft stores the
passwords of such accounts in system memory as clear text, and it's a common
hacker trick when doing a buffer overload on a service to grab those
accounts and passwords and use them for further attacks. Would there be
any way to run the DHCP service as one of the reserved accounts like Network
Service?
