SYMPTOMS
Network Discovery cannot access Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers in separate Windows 2000 domains.



CAUSE
Network Discovery uses the SMSService account to access objects in a domain. By default, the SMSService account does not have access to a separate Windows 2000 domain.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, add the SMSService account to the DHCP Admins group in the Windows 2000 domain that contains the DHCP server that is being accessed by Network Discovery.
