Is there a way to stop the Microsoft DHCP server from handing out an IP address to unauthorized mach

Puneet Mehta, SDG

I have a fairly large Microsoft Windows 2000 AD network using DHCP. Is there a way to stop the Microsoft DHCP server from handing out an IP address to unauthorized machines? Other than using 'vendor class' as some of my laptops and system network cards do not allow for that setting.
I have already responded to a similar question in the past. Please check it out here:
