I want to change my WINS and DNS addresses on my W2k and
NT clients without having to go to the desktop. Any
suggestions?
 
If you have setup DHCP on the server, it can be done. The clients will have
to set to obtain an IP automatically from the DHCP-server, which will also
push WINS and DNS.

I'm not ready to go to full DHCP to the desktop yet. I
was looking for a way to push out the changes that need to
be made.
 
Unfortunately you will have to hit the desktops one more
time and change their settings to use dhcp and dynamic
DNS.
On the server under dhcp you can configure all pertinent
info such as DNS, Gateway, WINS, etc. This is under
server options. At least the next time you make changes
you will not have to hit all clients.
 
ask in the cmdprompt.admin group.

I have seen this question asked there, and answered by way of using .vbs
scripts and wmi.
