Scheduled task ipconfig /registerdns
We have serious DNS issues where I work. I am not over the DNS server so I can not fix that. The problem is DNS entries for users systems just don't update when their IP address changes. I had the idea to create a scheduled task that would run ipconfig /renew and then run ipconfig /registerdns but ipconfig /registerdns requires elevated permissions in order to run. I know fixing the DNS issue would be the preferred way to deal with the issue, but that is beyond my control. Can I create a scheduled task that will run a batch file with elevated permissions or run the command with elevated permissions?

Hi, Please open the task schedule's properties, then change the security option to an elevated user.

Weird. I thought I'd tried that using the credentials from the local admin account, but it had failed. Maybe I had the password wrong the first time.
