Adding the Network Service to DHCP Adminstrators group

Adding the Network Service to DHCP Adminstrators group

Hey, 

 I have an asp.net form that runs a backend c# application. My server is running
Windows Server 2003 and is a DHCP server also. My application is running as the
network service. 

 My application uses the netsh.exe utility to access the dhcp database. In order
to give it the right permissions, I added the "nt authority\network
service" account to the "dhcp administrators" group. 

 This for whatever reason is not working. 

 I have tried this with a regular user acount through the command prompt via
netsh dhcp and it has worked correctly once I have added this account to the
dhcp administrators group. 

 The netsh utility returns an error code of 1 (%errorlevel% = 1). And outputs
the following: "The command needs a valid scope IP address." 

 I recieve the same error code and message when I run the netsh utility through
the command prompt with a regular user account who has not been added to the
dhcp administrators group. 

 Anyone have any ideas? 

 Josiah

This has nothing to do with IIS ... you may get a better answer in a forum that
deals with networking support ...
