DHCP Permission issues in my domain
If DHCP is installed on DC, then you unfortunately don’t have the luxury of pinning down permissions on a per-server basis. All DC replicated among each other so permissions on one would replicate to others. I would always recommend having DHCP running on a member server whenever possible.
