DHCP Client service, Access is denied
I have a newly built Windows 2003 member server. I noticed Event ID 7023 in the System Log:
"The DHCP Client service terminated with the following error:
Access is denied.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.0:
Of course, the Microsoft knowlege base did not help much.
When I try to start the DHCP client service I get this error:
"Could not start the DHCP Client Service on Local Computer: "Error 5: Access Denied"."
Even though this server is setup with static IP addressing, I would still like to get rid of these errors. It bugs me when a newly built server has event errors.
Please help!
Thanks much!

I do not want this machine to dish out IP information because I already have a DHCP server in place. This machine will only be used as a file server.
ooops... you did say client... :-)
ASKER
Yes. Client. See original message above. Thanks.
if it's a server, the best practice would be to give it a static ip address...
but try uninstalling and reinstalling your network adapter... that should reinstall tcp/ip...
also be sure to log in with an administrative account that has the rights to start and stop services...

Yes... it is a server WITH static IP addressing in place. Please... I encourage you to read the original post because this information was mentioned there.
And yes, I have the administrator access to the server. Even if I log in with the actual domain administrator account, I still get the same symptoms. Thanks anyway.

What happens if you go into services and just stop the dhcp client service and set it to disabled?
ASKER
It is already stopped. Currently it is set to automatic. I can set it to disabled. When I do, if I reboot the server I still get the following error in event viewer:
The DHCP Client service terminated with the following error:
Event ID: 7023
Access is denied.

The registry hacks worked!! I did not have to bother with the group policy stuff.
It seems kinda strange that I had to hack the registry just to get rid of the problem.
If someone can explain to me the reason for the problem, just email me personally and I will open a new case and give you credit.
In the meantime... many thanks to kreaganoutsourceditbiz.

I hate to sound dense but I am unable to find a "network Service" account when I try to add that to the registry key. What have I missed?
open dhcp manager----select dhcp---right click then select authorize---add the server's ip address....
