In the DHCP Console, right click on the DHCP server name, choose

enter the credentials for a dedicated user account that should
(probably) have a non-expiring password. The non-expiring password
is optional and is a security risk if you give the account to many
priviledges. I usually make this account a member of the guests
group, making it the primary group and deleting the users group,
which seems to have all the priviledges it needs.

I LOVE YOU!!!!
Thanks, this solves my problem... thank you a lot!!

If I understand correctly, normally PCs in the domain write directly
their entry in the DNS zone and they are authorized by default cause
they are part of the domain. This doesn't happen for PC/devices not
in the domain, so we have to give DHCP server authorization to insert
entries in the DNS zone, am I right?

Basically yes.

I have found that if DHCP registers for even the Domain members that are
also DHCP clients, especially mobile clients like laptops, DHCP will keep
the zone clean of old records by removing records it created, when it
deletes the lease. See my post under the "enable scavenging" thread of this
same group
(news:%234quoDq0HHA.4928@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) for Step by step setup. Using
this setup allows DHCP to own all DNS records for DHCP clients.
