login script

[lilbstrd]

Is there a way to create a login script that would update (change) the DNS server ip addresses in IP (TCP/IP) properties for staticly addressed pc's?

I have built two servers specifically designed for DC responsabilities and would like to change the authentification IP addresses for each pc on the network, and that would run when the user logs in as an administrative script and auto-reboot the pc with no user interaction.

Thanks

not sure on you network setup, but wouldnt you just change the dns servers on your dhcp server, then client pc's would update the servers when they start the pc ?


NM , just noticed you stated static Ip's

you can see some examples here

Here is a script I wrote to update TCP/IP settings. you should be able to modify it to do just dns settings if that all you need.

Option Explicit

Dim NetworkAdapter, AdapterConfiguration 'Objects
Dim IPAddress, SubnetMask, Gateway, DNS 'String Arrays
Dim RetVal 'Integers

For Each NetworkAdapter In
GetObject("winmgmts:").InstancesOf("Win32_NetworkAdapter")
If NetworkAdapter.AdapterType = "Ethernet 802.3" Then
For Each AdapterConfiguration In GetObject("winmgmts:").InstancesOf
("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")
If UCase(AdapterConfiguration.ServiceName) = UCase(NetworkAdapter.ServiceName) Then
IPAddress = Array("192.168.128.248")
SubnetMask = Array("255.255.255.0")
Gateway = Array("192.168.248.1")
DNS = Array("192.168.127.28","192.168.20.29")

RetVal = AdapterConfiguration.EnableStatic(IPAddress, SubnetMask)
If Not RetVal = 0 Then
WScript.Echo "Failure assigning IP/Subnetmask."
End If
RetVal = AdapterConfiguration.SetGateways(Gateway)
If Not RetVal = 0 Then
WScript.Echo "Failure assigning Gateway."
End If
RetVal = AdapterConfiguration.SetDnsServerSearchOrder(DNS)
If Not RetVal = 0 Then
WScript.Echo "Failure assinging DNS search order."
End If
End If
Next
End If
Next

I found this great little script from McNeillware that is setup to run from my pc and update the DNS sever ip's of networked pc's with a series of forms that I can input the ip sddresses I want and it changes them remotly for me.
