| I have a problem i wonder if ne1 could help me. I currently have over 900+ computers at the high school campus and I wanted to change all of the computers ip addresses and computer name to the new vlans. My question is how can I change all of the computers ip addreses remotly without haveing to touch every individual machine. I was going to use the arp -s command and assign an ip address thtough the machines MAC Address but that didnt work becasue once the nic card has an ip address the arp command wont work on it.
ANy ideas???
Thanx
The machines are all 98 and 2000
Thanx In Advance | |

with a DHCP service you can provide a automatic ip address configuration to your clients. additional scope options like gateway, subnet, dns, wins, etc can be provided to clients too. | |

| I assume these are static addresses? If they are DHCP then you can do it on the DHCP server. If they are static, you can use psexec to run commands on remote win2k computers from a win2k computer.
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/psexec.shtml
then you can use the internal netsh command to change the ip configuration on the machine you're connected to.
after downloading the psexec file you could run:
psexec \\computername netsh
DISCLAIMER: Be careful using netsh as you can really hose up the computer you are connected to.
I don't know if psexec will allow you to connect to a win98 box, never tried it. | |

| I will try that program out. If it works then that would be a life saver.
Also.
I also want to try out writing a script to help me with that objective.
CAn ne1 help me out on how to create that script??
