Changing the values of TCP/IP interfaces
Morning All,
I have to come up with a way of setting the NameServer value under for following key.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{GUID}]
"NameServer"="10.110.x.x,10.110.x.x"
The problem being the GUID is unique to each interface and many of my machines have more than one NIC/interface. I can’t find a way to return the interface GUID and I'm not quite sure how to deal with the multiple NICs issue. It would be acceptable to change the NameServer value for all interfaces.
Any ideas? I’m stumped.
Charlie

wmi will do the trick.
get a copy of Scriptomatic2 from Microsoft if your not familiar with WMI
i think the classes you need are
Win32_Network
Win32_NetworkAdapter
U can change ALL Tcpip settings with this.

You don't really need Scriptomatic: it just makes using WMI easier. However, WMI is just like any other object: just 'connect' to it and use its propertiesd and methods. You will still be faced with WMI's obscure syntax whether or not you use Scriptomatic so, if it were me, I'd be Goggling for some examples. You could do worse than start here. About midway down is the section 'Networking'.

scriptomatic as vbscab mentioned is just a tool to make life a little easier.
select the classes named in the post above.
it will then write a bunch of vbs code which can manipulate each of the settings which belong to the class.
cut and paste the bits you want to use.
alternatively theres some good detail on the real men dont click website ..
