Gurus, (and to Ace Fekay, this is a new server, not one I talked about in
previous posts),

Running Windows Server 2003, single-homed, AD-integrated DNS zone, secured
dynamic updates. It's also running DHCP. Got this error in my system log,
what do I do about it?

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: DhcpServer
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1056
Date: 9/16/2004
Time: 12:03:26 AM
User: N/A
Computer: TERM-SERVER
Description:
The DHCP service has detected that it is running on a DC and has no
credentials configured for use with Dynamic DNS registrations initiated by
the DHCP service. This is not a recommended security configuration.
Credentials for Dynamic DNS registrations may be configured using the
command line "netsh dhcp server set dnscredentials" or via the DHCP
Administrative tool.
