At work, we use a windows server 2003 environment with our own DHCP and DNS Servers. We have some group policies in place but they hardly place any restrictions on users being able to get around the network.

Now when I first use a Vista computer before it is added to the Active Directory Domain, DHCP works flawlessly. However, after adding it to the domain DHCP stops working completely. A network sniff shows that communication is happening between the DHCP server and the Vista computer, and that the DHCP server is even offering an IP address, yet the Vista computer doesn’t seem to take it. When I give the Vista computer a Static IP address, however, it works just fine. Any ideas would be appreciated.
IPCONFIG doesn’t seem to work. I get a “Access is Denied” message when trying to release or renew.
