DHCP Server service security enhancement
DHCP Server service is moved under Network Service account from what it used to be a Local System account untill Windows Server 2008. With this the DHCP Server service that runs in the context of the Network Service account presents the computer's credentials to remote servers. Also the advantage with Network Service is it has very few privileges and can do less damage on the server if compromised.
