Scripting a DHCP Reservation
JMD
Manfred Braun
I read this in the resource kit shortly, but found not a code snippet in
scripting. Do you know a resource/sample???

help file packaged in the dhcpobjs.exe archive. And, it does have very nice
samples in it.
BTW, I wasn't clear about it before, but you must install the Resource Kit
Tools from the CD to have dhcpobjs.exe on your machine.

sorry for beeing so late, but thanks for your reply. I saw the help in the
package, but the samples are not working in scripting. They use all "Set x
As "x.y", so they are all for VB.
I'll use OleView to find out, how to instanciate the object.
Anyway, thanks!

var oManager = new ActiveXObject( "Dhcp.Manager" );
var oServer = oManager.Servers.Connect( "10.0.0.1" );
var oScope = oServer.Scopes.CreateNew();
oScope.Mask = "255.255.255.0";
oScope.StartAddress = "10.0.1.1";
oScope.EndAddress = "10.0.1.254";
oScope.Name = "User Subnet";
oScope.Comment = "Created Fri Mar 9 07:31:32 CST 2001";
oScope.Active = false;
oScope.Update();
oScope.Options.Add( 51, 604800 );
oScope.Options.Add( 15, "mydomain.com" );
oScope.Active = true;
oScope.Update();
oScope = null;
oServer.Disconnect();
oServer = null;
One note: If you're going against a Windows 2000 DHCP server, DO NOT
try to add reservations using DHCP Objects. There is a bug which will crash
the DHCP Server service. I opted to use the DHCPCMD command-line
utility (available in the Resource Kit) to add reservations.
I wrote to Microsoft on 2/19 about this bug. They replied that DHCP Objects
is intended only for Windows NT, NOT for Windows 2000 and said that
DHCP Objects was not supposed to be included in the Windows 2000
Resource Kit.
