A question about DHCP

This morning one of my friends set up a stand alone DHCP server and connected
it into the domain network. The DHCP server became deactive because it could
not authorize into the AD (because it was a stand-alone server). But he first
joined the server while it was stand alone and activated it and then
connected it into the AD network and every thing was well. why the DHCP
server in the stand-alone server did not become deactivate? and why after 60
minutes this situation continued without any problem?

Thanks in advanced

as long as the server is standalone (not part of the AD domain) he can start
the DHCP server without any authorization.
Use dhcploc.exe from Windows XP Support Tools to locate rogue DHCP servers.
