#157375 - 2006-02-17 12:33 PM Proper I.P. address location in the registry
AstaaLavista AstaaLavista Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2005-08-11 Posts: 111 Loc: Gujarat, India.	hi, Using ghost images, we can install an OS, but updating the static I.P. addr becomes cumbersome, so i was thinking if we cud export registry containing I.P. info. & then after install run the .reg files as soon a user logs in (using kix script). For that I searched for I.P. in the registry & i got a location like "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{3060234A-F2D6-4C32-964E-F46927079489}". This means i cant trust a particular location for storing the I.P. address. Is there any other way?

It does not matter what particular I.P. is assigned to them. they shud just have a static I.P. Machines need to be formatted quite often; so i thought if i cud automate updating the registry, it wud be fine. i have already automated updating anti virus patches & checking connectivity & day by day it seems, i m becoming more lazy

I get the MAC address of each interface, then use the dos NETSH command to apply the TCP parameters.

I use an unintended install environment (written in KiXtart, or course!) for the OS and all the applications. Much better than ghosting or any other sort of image technique. The only drawback is that it is also much slower.
