What are the minimum permissions needed to authorize a DHCP server in a multiple domain AD DS forest?

Member of Enterprise Admins group.
Member of Domain Admins group.
Member of local Administrators group on the DHCP server.
Regular user account with no specific permissions.

The correct answer is: Member of Enterprise Admins group.

To authorize a DHCP server in a multiple domain Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest, the minimum permissions required are those of a member of the Enterprise Admins group. The Enterprise Admins group has the necessary authority to make changes across the entire forest, including actions that affect configuration and management of most resources in all domains within that forest. Authorization of a DHCP server is a critical task that necessitates elevated permissions, as it involves integrating the DHCP service with Active Directory to ensure that the DHCP server can perform its functions without conflicts or security issues. In this context, other options do not provide the necessary level of permissions. Membership in the Domain Admins group, while powerful, is limited to the domain level and may not affect all domains in a forest, which is why it does not suffice for this task. Being a member of the local Administrators group only grants the ability to manage the machine locally, but does not encompass the authority needed for forest-wide authorization. A regular user account with no specific permissions would not have the requisite access to authorize a DHCP server, as this action involves modifications that require higher-level permissions within Active Directory.
