Jay,

You can install DHCP on a member sever, however you will need to setup one 
server with a set scope (ie. 192.168.4.1 to 192.168.4.50) and another with a 
different scope.  The reason behind this is that each computer will grab an IP 
from the DHCP server, and if you have two servers running DHCP the computers 
won't know where to grab the IP from.  

As far as just setting him up to one DHCP server... I don't know if this can be 
done.  You could set him up with the DHCP Admin account and then only allow him 
to access the one server by setting up RDP with permissions.  On the other 
servers you could deny him access to those with RDP.

Subject: Can we limit administration to One DHCP server in a domain?

We have many sites in Winows 2003 domain with DHCP server running on a DC on 
each site. We would like a user (who is not a member of Domain Admins group) to 
administer only one DHCP server -- on his site. However, making him a member of 
DHCP administrators group gives him rights on all DHCP servers and DHCP users 
group can only view configuration of these servers.

Perhaps, installing DHCP on a member server is a solution, but can this be 
achieved while keeping DHCP servers on DCs? Thanks.
