    I remember that sometime ago I read about an issue when deploying DHCP Service on Domain Controllers, but I couldn't find it anymore.

    Is there some contraindication of using Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controller as DHCP Server?

    Thankyou in advance.

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for posting here.

     

    Yes, the reason that we not recommended to install the DHCP Server service configured to perform DDNS update on a DC due to minimize the potential of name hijacking. I think this best practice suggestion is still apply to windows server 2008 base system.

    For more information please refer to the article below:
