It is possible to prevent a system from obtaining an IP
address from my DHCP server similar to how reservations
work. I've tried but entering an IP address outside the
range give an error, eroneous ip address.

I know you're going to say, just turn off the DHCP client
on the workstation, but I do not have access to it. Its a
leased piece of #@$^ from an outside vendor who refuses
to assist me. Unplugging it will only add to the problem.

Thanks,
 
well, if you find a way to not give it an ip address when it is set for dhcp
on your network it would eventually (when the dhcp lease expires) revert to
an autoconfigured address which would essentially remove it from your
network anyway as it would have no gateway or dns or way to route to the
outside world... so you might as well unplug it's network cable, or turn off
its switch port, or let it have an ip address but tell the router to send it
to the bit bucket, etc... all the same effect.

Configure your DHCP server to exclude its MAC address.
