Hello,

I'm looking for a way to find out via KIX if a given client has dhcp activated or if he uses a static IP-Adress.
If static I wish to change to DHCP.
If DHCP I wish to change nothing and keep working through the scripts.

Thanks in advance for your help

EnableDHCP() will do most everything you are looking for. Search the UDFs and you find there are other IP related functions as well.

I'm very sorry that I must be struck by blindness but I cannot see the keyword enableDHCP in the keyword list via the link you provided with your signature.

We use Version 4.21 - could it be that in this version the keyword was not integrated?

I always try to find the answers in the forums BEFORE I state a question here - if only to make the impression that I am no complete idiot.
Sorry to say that regarding automatically enabling DHCP I didn't find any answer.
Maybe I wasn't successful at all because I didn't know the exact command/function for which I had to look for.

I will try my luck again.
Thanks for your patience..

Rob

Ack - call me stupid!
I just found out that just clicking on EnableDHCP() opens the link I was looking for - Damn....

I checked the Code for the function EnableDHCP().
It works great on any W2K and WXP machine as far as I was able to test it.

I believe that I managed to understand what this script does, although I wouldn't have been able to invent such stuff myself in the first place.

Sorrily that script only works for machines with W2K and better OS's.

So I still have to find a solution which works for W9x-machines.

As far as I checked the forums there seems to be no ready script. But maybe I don't have to look for a script - maybe I need to just call a command with the appropriate commandline parameters or maybe I should go for a solution which directly writes values and keys into the registries of the machines.

they work on all machines you have WMI installed on.

anyways, like said, search the board, the answer is there:

I did not test the UDFs with Win9x... and I believe they will not work, even with WMI installed...

I KNOW they won't work on Win9x even with WMI installed. Networking is way different in Win9x.

Wowzer!

Thats really some cool researching.

I checked the scripts and am now able to cobble together a script which does all the things my boss ever wanted.
I have to admit that I not only learn a lot about scriptprogramming but also many things about those bread and butter knowledge that makes your day-to-day working that much easier.
I browsed a lot through the different forums and used the search function a lot but I didn't come up with info I was able to use.

You all are my true heroes.
I only wish I could contribute to this forum myself too a bit.
