Script to enable DHCP (W2K)

[maciejsobolewski]

All,

I am in desperate need of a script that will change all netwok adapters in a workstation from staticially assigned to DHCP. I need to migrate a entire site (300+machines) to dhcp, and I can't find any place that shows me how. I am planning on putting this into the PC startup script.

Any help appreciated

I've tried netsh in a .CMD file at startup and got mixed results from the 10 test workstations. If I remember correctly if they we're already set to DHCP it failed to get a IP address. These are all W2K/XP machines, latest SP's.

This is the .cmd as I added it to the computer startup script:

***
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
***

Do you think I should try it on a user login script instead?

Thanks
