DHCP Bad Address

I have a Windows server (2003 SP2) in our network that is NOT part of our
domain, but is being given an IP address by DHCP. It has recently had
BAD_ADDRESS put under the IP Name. Would it hurt if I deleted the IP address
from the DHCP server and let it re-assign the IP address?

Also, how would I find out the identity of the other machine trying to be
assigned the same IP address?

You probably have an address conflict. Try creating a dhcp reservation or
exclusiion for this address in conflict
