In case you need it, i can provide you with a script that scans for dhcp
servers which mac adresses are not known and deactivates the switch port
on which the mac adress of this device is found. ....

Should i continue? Please don't tell me this is idiotic, i know what can
happen and what to do if this happens.

You can setup on an Windows Workstation an DHCP Server? What Version
would that be? ;)

Sure, Company gets bought, you have to migrate your network into a wider
range of other networks, cause of VPN Routings. You never have been into
such a situation?

Now please tell me how to plan this?
