Correct Answer: - C Tested in LAB. Reason - As per the case study, Server3 is in canada.contoso.com so while authorizing DHCP in any other domain except the root admin. The account must be an Enterprise Admin. For root domain: - The account can be a part of Domain Admin or Enterprise Admin. So, answer is C. Admin 1 only.

As this is not a single domain environment, the following from MS.... "You must authorize the Windows Server DHCP Server role in AD DS before it can begin leasing IP addresses. It's possible to have a single DHCP server providing IP addresses for subnets that contain multiple AD DS domains. Because of this, you must use an Enterprise Administrator account to authorize the DHCP server. In a single-domain environment, membership in Domain Admins is sufficient to authorize a DHCP server." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/deploy-manage-dynamic-host-configuration-protocol/3-install-configure-dynamic-host-configuration-protocol

C By default, only a administrator which is member of “Enterprise Admins” group can authorize the DHCP which is installed in domain environment. If the other accounts would like to authorize the DHCP server which is a member server in child domain, you may get “Access is denied“.

No, it is not the default behavior that only Enterprise Admins can authorize DHCP servers. The authorization of DHCP servers is typically a domain-specific task, and it doesn't require Enterprise Admin privileges. In a multi-domain forest, Enterprise Admins have wide-ranging administrative rights across the entire forest, but DHCP authorization is not within the scope of their typical responsibilities. Authorization of DHCP servers is usually handled at the domain level, and permissions for authorizing DHCP servers are delegated to Domain Admins or administrators with specific DHCP authorization rights. This delegation can be done within each domain without needing Enterprise Admin privileges.

Selected Answer: B

The Domain Admins group of the child domain (canada.contoso.com) and the Enterprise Admins group of the parent domain (contoso.com) can authorize DHCP servers in the child domain. Since the DHCP server is located in the child domain, the authorization process will need to be performed by a member of the Domain Admins group of canada.contoso.com or the Enterprise Admins group of contoso.com.

Selected Answer: C

It is important to understand the scope of the authority. In this case, you are authorizing domain to have their own DNS. Domain admin only have authority within their own domain, they do not have authority on other domains, therefore, how can domain admin have any authority to authorize others? Root domain admin do have the authority, by default, to self-elevate themselves to obtain higher authority to do things. However, by default as well, they do not have that authority on the get go and assuming the default circumstances, only enterprise admin is the correct answer.

Your answer is wrong. Please, do more extensive research before posting By default, only Enterprise admins can authorise DHCP servers. In addition, by default, Domain Admins from the root domain ca also authorize DHCP servers. Thats it.
