Hello Milos Puchta, "Your server is receiving IP address from DHCP server? (Nor very common configuration. Ane special reason for it?)" Agree IF the server use DHCP BUT the DHCP client service is required for correct DNS registration on OS versions earlier then Windows server 2008.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hello Geek, I'm trying to start the service with Local Administrator, but it's not working. Actually that service is not required in the server, because I’m using Static Ip address. In our company monitoring tool we will raise the alert if any service is fail :( . I can excluded this service in monitoring tool, in future customer may use the DHCP option and also I’m very eager to find solve for this problem. Thanks SreeM Regards, Sridharan. M

I would strongly advice you to run the process monitor and find out the root cause of the failing service. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645 http://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin

Hi, I have fixed the issue Myself :) 1) Changed the Service account to "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService" No password click ok 2) HKEY_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp right click and select the permission if Networkservice not available in the group add and give the full permission & select the advance settings tick Replace permission entries on all child object After that i'm able to start the DHCP client service without any problem :) Regards, Sridharan.
