every workstation in a novell environment from static to dynamic using
a script so that it will pick up the DNS address via the DHCP
server...please can you help as this is a big network. Please dont ask

Hi,

Firstly thank you for your reply....

I am aware of this command and it does work if you save it as a batch
file and run it from ie desktop when you are logged on as an
administrator. my question is that i would like to run this command as
a user (with no admin rights) is logging on to the desktop i.e a
script. Is there a way of entering all administrator credntials on a
batch file or vb script to run and then point to the NETSH command to
run and make the required change.

thanks

alf

PSEXEC works if you point it to one PC. however if you point to a
text file containing the ip address of a number of PC's it fail and
returns a message somthing like "eable remote PC's ADMIN$". The whole
point is to do this from one central point rather than going to each
PC and enabling. is there a third party software for this type of
sceniro.

Please help

I have run it remotely using admin credentials and associated a text
file referencing a batch of host ip address. It fails to execute/run
and displays a "remote ADMIN$" must be enabled.(on the destination
PC). This is all enabled but still fails to run accordingly. Any
other reccomendations.

Thanks
