You cannot select which DHCP server is used because the server is found through broadcast. Also only one server is allowed per network segment, so only one should exist.

When a windows computer is configured to use DHCP but no DHCP server is available what type of address is configured automatically for it?

When a Windows computer is configured to use DHCP and no DHCP server is available, it automatically assigns itself an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address. This address falls within the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. The computer uses this address to communicate with other devices on the same local network segment, but it cannot connect to external networks without a valid DHCP lease.
