### Device Owners

When the Device Owners group has no members, we recommend that you don't change the default configuration for this security group. Changing the default configuration might hinder future scenarios that rely on this group. The Device Owners group currently isn't used in Windows.

The Device Owners group applies to the Windows Server OS in [Default AD security groups](#default-ad-security-groups).

### DHCP Administrators

Members of the DHCP Administrators group can create, delete, and manage different areas of the server's scope. This includes the rights to back up and restore the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) database. Even though this group has administrative rights, it isn't part of the Administrators group because this role is limited to DHCP services.
