Try to just add nt service\dhcp. The account will not be listed in the users
DHCP Client service does not start. Error 5: Access Denied
Hi All
I have another problem, the DHCP Client service does not start.
Error 5: Access Denied can not start the DHCP Client service on Local Computer.
If I go to the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp
Right click and choose Permissions. There should be the following:
System = Full Control
Local Service = Read
Network Service = Read
Local Admin = Full Control
Local Users = Read
Dhcp = (I cannot find this group and therefore cannot add it)
Can You help me?
Thank you
Salvatore

In my case, the DHCP database backup location was recently set to a shared drive which lacked necessary permissions and triggered Event ID 1017 and also prevented the DHCP service from starting when the host was restarted.I simply reset the DHCP database backup location in registry - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCPServer\Parameters\BackupDatabasePath
The default path is C:\Windows\System32\dhcp\backup -
