Manage WINS & DHCP by Using Only Local Administrator Privilege (139122)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
This article was previously published under Q139122 SUMMARY
You can manage the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) and Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services on a standalone (non-domain) Windows
NT server by using a non-administrator domain user account that has
administrator privileges only on the standalone Windows NT server.
MORE INFORMATION
To manage the WINS and DHCP services, you must have administrator
privileges on the server running these services. Your logon account must be
added to the local Administrators group on the standalone server. You can
then manage these services with only domain user rights (that is, you don't
have to have administrator rights on the domain you are a member of). You
can also manage multiple domains in this way if trusts are established
between these domains.
