Have seen something along these lines we initially performed the authorization using chid domain (where the DHCP servers are) credentials - this seem to perform the authorization (certainly wrote to the directory) but got messages as you describe.
the fix was a good hack using ADSIEDIT of the directory objects relating to the dhcp server, making sure good and proper the directory was replicant with the server removed then making sure the authorisation was performed using ENTERPRISE ADMIN credentials note the domain model to which this applies is empty forest root with child domain DC's on which dhcp server runs HTH GT ----- Original Message ----- From: "Oliver Marshall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 2:34 PM Subject: [ActiveDir] [OT]'ish DHCP authorization error and ADSIEdit I have the exact issue detailed in this KB article; http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306925 I have done exactly what it says there, allowing loads of time for replication and rebooting etc etc and I still get exactly the same error. Using ADSIEdit removes the entries from the DHCPRoot object, and the changes get replicated. Authorizing the DHCP server adds the server entry to the DHCPRoot object again as it should, though the MMC applet still reports that the server cant be authorised even though it is has just added it itself !!! :( I have a director who will be flying to that office tomorrow with a laptop set to Dynamically Assign IP addresses, and he will be majorly hacked off if he cant get surfing! Any ideas what happening?
