Scripting of DNS changes
This is a discussion about Scripting of DNS changes in the Windows Networking category; Hello all! I am relatively new around here so hopefully I will get the posting protocol right. I am in a work/school situation which requires 3 separate ip setups. The first is DHCP with the dns obtained at login.
Hello all!
I am relatively new around here so hopefully I will get the posting protocol right. I am in a work/school situation which requires 3 separate ip setups. The first is DHCP with the dns obtained at login. The second is static with primary and secondary dns servers. Finally, the third also is static with a different set of dns servers. I have been able to write a batch which changes the ip from DHCP to either of the statics depending on a passed commandline parameter, however I cannot find a way to change the dns. If it is available under netsh I cannot find it, nor can I find adequate documentation about how to script it.
I am going to try doing it by direct registry manipulation tonight, but this is undesirable for obvious reasons. Certainly if there is a manner of changing the ip, there is a manner of changing the dns, right???
Thanks,
