The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

This article was previously published under Q315370

SYMPTOMS

Although you are a domain administrator and DHCP administrator in a child domain, you may receive an "access denied" message when you try to authorize a DHCP server in the child domain.

CAUSE

This issue can occur because you must be an enterprise administrator to authorize a DHCP server.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use an account in the parent domain to authorize the server. The DHCP administrator in the child domain can administer the server after the server is authorized.

MORE INFORMATION

You cannot add users in the child domain to this group except in native mode.
