Can an NT workstation function as a DHCP server?

No. It's a server only feature.
Also you can't upgrade nt wks to server. You will have to re-install all again...

Good luck

What are you trying to accomplish? If you have a DHCP server on the other side of a router, you can set up an NT workstation to retrieve IP addresses from that server (if a scope was created on the server for that subnet). Because DHCP broadcast requests do not cross routers, you can set up an NT Workstation as a DHCP relay agent. It looks for requests for IP addresses from other clients on the subnet, sends the request to a DHCP server, receives the assignment from the DHCP server, and then gives it to the appropriate client.
