We're moving from static IP to DHCP.

I'm looking for a way to automate
the process through either WSH or
a batch file.

I've found Q197424 which applies to
Windows 95 and 98, which gets most
of the workstations, and that's great.

Is there a way of doing the same for
Windows NT4, and Windows 2000 Pro?

Thanks in advance,


Andrew

I regularly switch between static IP (office) and DHCP (home) so I use
"netsh -f dhcp.txt" where dhcp.txt contains

#========================
# Interface configuration
#========================
pushd interface

reset all


popd
# End of interface configuration

# ----------------------------------
# Interface IP Configuration
# ----------------------------------
pushd interface ip


# Interface IP Configuration for "Local Area Connection"

set address name="Local Area Connection" source=dhcp
set dns name="Local Area Connection" source=dhcp

popd
# End of interface IP configuration

----------------------------------------------
