DHCP DNS Dynamic Updates Credentials...

Hi!

I have 2 DHCP servers running on domain controllers w/DNS, and we want to
securize the credential used to execute DNS Dynamic Updates. Actually the
domain Administrator account is used, but this is a temporary solution...

I read http://support.microsoft.com/?id=816592, but they don't specify which
security rights we should uses for this particular user. I assume that the
DNSUpdateProxy group should not be used if we want only secure updates...

Thanks.

I finally created a user with DNS Admins membership... but I suspect this is
too much security. I'm still looking for information about that.

Thanks.
