I have 22 systems that are spread out among 350 systems in one of our
offices. We want to be able to script out the changing of ip addressing on
these 22 systems that have static addresses. Does anyone have any ideals on
how to do so? Anyone ever attempted somthing like this?

I'd assume you'd have to script it using the "netsh" command somewhere
in the script.
Try entering the following line from a command prompt:

netsh interface ip set address /?

Thanx for the reply John. I was looking at "NETSH" being the way i would get
this done, what i cant figure out is how to use it on remote systems?
 
When running the "netsh" command on the remote system i get an access denied
error message. I tried using "runas" with no luck.... here is what the script
looks like;

@echo off

runas /user:na\aaseawil02 /netonly "netsh.exe"

interface -r 10.251.185.87 set address name=" Local Area Connection "
source= static addr= 192.168.1.1 mask= 255.255.255.0 gateway= none

Shutdown /i /l /r /m \\hqp-pc-0854 /t 20


Any ideals?

Typing in "netsh /?" reveals:
Usage: netsh [-a AliasFile] [-c Context] [-r RemoteMachine] [Command | -f ScriptFile]

Just insert your remote machine name after the "-r".

In order for "netsh -r" to work from your machine to change a target
machine, the account that your are logged in locally must match the
credentials of an administrator account on the target machine.

You might want to try the different approach of using "psexec.exe" to
connect to your target machine and then execute the netsh command on
the target machine (without the -r option). The psexec command permits
you to enter username and password credentials. Psexec is part of the
PSTools suite available at:
