When will the IP assigned to a client system, by an DHCP server, be
out of the range specified in the scope of the DHCP server,which is
the only authorized server in the network??? Suppose that the DHCP
server IP is 192.168.0.1 and the scope range is 192.169.0.2 to
198.162.0.10, when will a client system get a different IP like
169.102.0.1??? why does this happen???

It sounds like Windows is timing out waiting for the server to respond
with an IP, and selecting the default IP, which is in that range.
