Hi

You can use a feature called DHCP Snooping which allows you to define trusted ports where you connect your DHCP servers into and non-trusted ports for DHCP clients. As long as the person attaching the server does not have access to the switch config this would be fairly effective.

I don't know what type of access switches you have but i have included a link to configuration of DHCP Snooping on the 3750 switch.
