No.
Computer Startup Script -> netsh
but the problem is, that the name of your LAN connection must
always be the same ...

Thanks Mark. Followup question though, I've tried the following startup
script under Computer Settings>Windows Settings>Scripts>Startup, but haven't
had any success running. When I run the script standalone, the WINS changes,
but not when it runs at startup.

On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colNetCards = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * From Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration Where IPEnabled = True")
For Each objNetCard in colNetCards
strPrimaryServer = "xxx.xx.xx.xx"
strSecondaryServer = "xxx.xxx.x.xxx"
objNetCard.SetWINSServer strPrimaryServer, strSecondaryServer
Next
