Last name: dns update service
dns_updater
Set password to something long and complex.
Select:
User cannot change password
Password never expires
2. Add user to DnsUpdateProxy group
3. Open up DHCP mmc
4. Right click IPv4 and select Properties > Advanced tab > Credentials...
5. Use dns_updater user which you just created

This should also work for previous versions of Windows.
