I have many pc's that need to be changed to DHCP. I have found some scripts that work but seem to only work on my pc. I am trying to push this out through GPO. Does anyone hsave a script that will change the addres and DNS to use DHCP? Thanksnorman mattox

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp Paste the above cmd in a batch file, save it in a share, configure and apply a logon script to selected computers.

Hello, I don't think that a startup script would be a better idea. However, you can see this similar thread: http://forums.techguy.org/networking/568201-possible-deploy-dhcp-via-group.html and see also the suggested script.

Hi Norman, Thanks for posting here. Some sample scripts could be acquired form the site below and I also agree about pushing to client through startup script by group policy Configure a Network Connection to Use DHCP http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/5af36ed9-675b-425f-9bb3-81b088408461 Or maybe we can just modifying the registry keys in order to achieve the goal and of course these changes could also be pushed to clients via group policy : How to Remotely Reconfigure IP from Static Addressing to DHCP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q194407/ Regards, Tiger Li TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tnmff@microsoft.com.Tiger Li TechNet Community Support

Thanks Guys, I haven't had time to try it yet but I believe one of these will work. I am sure the reg setting will do the trick. norman mattox
