We are getting ready to switch to DHCP. Reading a document from MSDN entitled "Chapter 2 Deploying DHCP" there is a section that states "If DHCP will perform DNS dynamic updates, do not install it on a domain controller. Instead, install DHCP on a member server. When DHCP is installed on a DC and is configured to perform dynamic updates on behalf of clients in DNS zones that are configured to allow only secure dynamic update, specify a user account to update the DNS records." Well, this statement is ambiguous. Can it be installed on a DC (which we would prefer to do for reasons of economy) or not? Is there a problem with doing it? Thank you people in advance.
