hi
in my network we hav static ip address scheme and now we r planning to
devide the ip addresses for every department. is there a way of doing
so from my system remotely or i hav to go to each machine to do that
---- if the dhcp is the solution then is it possible that if i define
pools for every department then will the computers from that department
wil take their ip from their designated pool....

waiting for ur response

regards and thanx in advance
 
You can do a netsh script through psexec from sysinternal's pstools package.
But with 500 computers you need a better way to manage your IP addresses.
How many departments? Can you do VLANs and DHCP?

Send out 500 e-mails to their users telling them how to make the change.
After all, they're "personal computers."
 
Then instead of changing 500 IP addresses manually, you could just add all
500 users to the local admin group on their computers :-)
