Currently, I have all of my client pc's configured with a
static DNS server... Can someone tell me how i can setup a
policy or script to run one time at logon, and change the
'Use the following DNS server address' to
'Obtain DNS server address automatically' in the TCP/IP
properties of each client pc (win2k pro) in my win2k
network.

thank you
 
You could use a vbscript and write to the registry that the client's DNS
settings come from a DHCP server. You'll probably want to have some sort of
check in place to see whether or not the update has already been applied.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

We can use the Windows 2000 built-in tool netsh.exe to change the TCP/IP
settings. For example, we can use a batch file with the following content:

netsh interface ip delete dns "Local Area Connection" all
netsh interface ip delete wins "Local Area Connection" all
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source=dhcp
ipconfig /renew

I hope the above information helps. Thanks!
