There is some truth to that, however, I think it is only valid if you have
implemented Active Directory. If you are using DHCP on a member server in
an NT4 domain, anyone with Admin rights can install it. However, if you are
using AD, you DO have to authorize the DHCP server, But that is ONLY if the
DHCP server is running AD-integrated.

This is a pretty big stretch. I think it should say "not just anyone can
create a DHCP server on a W2K server that is a member of your domain."
Anyone could setup a DHCP server using third party software or with
another OS and cause havoc. The resource kit has a utility called
DHCPLOC that makes rouge servers a little easier to locate (or at least
identify.)
