IP, you should be able to change, but you will then need to do an IPCONFIG /release and then an IPCONFIG /renew.. Computer Name is going to be more challenging as it is stored in the SID. We use GHOSTWALKER and it works very well.. The only problem we have had with it is when the same computer name exists on the network.

I've got a slightly different problem which is part of this : I need to remotely renew all leases on the network. I've tried a ipconfig /release ; ipconfig /renew, but the users do not have the rights to do this.

Anybody know how to work around this in Kixtart ?

You could push out a Task Scheduler script to run under an account with sufficient rights. See the following:
