how to authorised standalone DHCP server

Hi

Is there a way to allow a standalone DHCP server exist on the same subnet of
Win2003 AD?

if yes, kindly share how to do it

Thanks

Quoted from microsoft:
"If you deploy Active Directory, all computers operating as DHCP servers
must be either domain controllers or domain member servers before they can
be authorized and provide DHCP service to clients.

Although it is not recommended, you can use a stand-alone server as a DHCP
server as long as it is not on a subnet with any authorized DHCP servers.
When a stand-alone DHCP server detects an authorized server on the same
subnet, it automatically stops leasing IP addresses to DHCP clients".
