Authorizing DHCP in AD

I have a Win2K DC and a new Win2003 member server. I want
the Win2003 server to run DHCP. However, when I try to
activiate the scope I am told I need to authorize the
DHCP server first. I have no "authorize" option available
to me. Plus, if I try to "manage authorized servers," and
put in the name or IP of the Win2003 server I get an error
message about the DHCP service not being able to contact
the AD. Can I authorize DHCP on this 2003 server without
making it a DC? If so, how?

Thanks

Well, I found the answer to my question. I added the DHCP
service to my Win2K DC, and used it's DHCP snap-in to gain
access to the "manage authorized servers" where I added
the Win2003 server as an authorized server. Now in the
DHCP console on the Win2003 server it is showing as
authorized, and all I need to do now is activate the
scope.
