Re: change all WInS IPs in the enterprise with PowerShell

[Dylan]

Something like this VBS script? Hope it's not too late.

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colNetCards = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From
Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration Where IPEnabled = True")
strPrimaryServer = "172.16.1.240"
strSecondaryServer = "172.16.1.241"

For Each objNetCard in colNetCards
objNetCard.SetWINSServer strPrimaryServer,strSecondaryServer
Next

The equivalent to that would basically be:

Get-WmiObject -ComputerName "." `
Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | ?{$_.IPEnabled -eq $True} | `
% {$_.SetWINSServer("172.16.1.240", "172.16.1.241")}

I'm guessing you'll want to do this on multiple servers. One way you
can do it is read a list of servers from a file into a variable and
then run the command on each server:

$servers = get-content c:\servers.txt
foreach ($server in $servers) {
Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $server `
Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | ?{$_.IPEnabled -eq $True} | `
% {$_.SetWINSServer("172.16.1.240", "172.16.1.241")} }

A one-liner using -filter instead of a where-object :)

Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -filter "IPEnabled='True'"
-ComputerName (get-content c:\servers.txt) | foreach {$_.SetWINSServer("172.16.1.240",
"172.16.1.241")}
