Hi
That's as good a way as any, but since you've taken the trouble to get
sssd and ddns updates working anyway, you may want to leave all the
machines as they are and use a dhcp server on a box other than the DC.
You may indeed already have one as most Internet routers have one as
standard. If not it is easy to setup a dhcp server on a spare box and
remember that it doesn't need to be joined to the domain. We're on
openSUSE and you can point and click a dhcp server in a few minutes.
Maybe Centos has something similar? Otherwise it's learning file syntax
I'm afraid.
Take your pick.
