French_Opposum French_Opposum Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-11-15 Posts: 7	First, I apologize for my grammar (I'm French..) I made a search but i didn't found any answers to my questions, so i create a new topic. Please don't kill me if i missed the solution! 250 workstations( desktop computer and portable), OS Win9x and Win2K I have to change all Ip config (IP,Subnet,Gateway,WINS) with a script. the goal of the play: change 192.168.25.x / 255.255.255.0 to 192.168.50.x / 255.255.0.0 (idem for gateway, wins: 192.168.25.x > 192.168.50.x) then shutdown pc for apply change (users should of course turn on after..) (i add that ours server will be set in the right ip config before, for correct login) Thx a lot

MightyR1 MightyR1 MM club member Registered: 1999-09-09 Posts: 1264 Loc: The Netherlands	French, Welcome on Board... Question: why not use DHCP? Changing 250 stations to use DHCP can be done manually with e few hands extra in a short time Take a look at the UDF forum on how to use User Defined Functions and determining IP addresses (sorry can't help you with exact topics since my search doesn't work at the office). I know there are some to determine if you're in an IP-range too! Changing however will be difficult on W2k; Admin rights are required! You could use SU for this (see the FAQ forum). Win9x should be easy using readvalue and writevalue (search the reggie manually to determine the keys and write a script to change them). Hope this helps a little... _________________________ Greetz, Patrick Rutten - We'll either find a way or make one... - Knowledge is power; knowing how to find it is more powerful... - Problems don't exist; they are challenges...

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	next question is that what rights the users have on the w2k machines? they don't have rights by default to change this so if you have not later added the rights, you would need to: a) create admin script which scans all computers changing the settings and asking user to reboot b) use su or other util to run as admin (security conserns) while logging on and, ofcourse will not shoot you. you even picked the right forum and all. reading your post shows that you have readen many posts before posting this, right? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

French_Opposum French_Opposum Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-11-15 Posts: 7	Lonkero >> Thx for answer so far! My W2K users are admin on local (not on domain of course ) so there are no difficulties to apply a script under user's rights. (and yes, i read many posts before make this , but i'm still searching) MightyR1 >> i can't use DHCP because: 1] flexibility with my firewall which manages users by IP 2] my users are globaly nomad (portable), so: a lot of conflicts when users come back on the LAN after 2 months of absence (Ip released and reaffected > ip conflict) 3] Global politic of my Office, i can't change it right now, but i have to change IP right now.. (we are about to be more than 255 users ) Both of you: My difficulties are: change only 25 to 50 in 192.168.25.x without change "x" (arggg) , in @IP,Subnet,etc.. shutdown W9x ! (rundll32; ExitWindows make only a reboot, i must turnoff completely portables to affect change because of PCMCIA Cards) So.. any solutions? if you find a solution , i'll pay you a Mercedes (no, it's a joke: only a big thx ) [ 15.

Otherwise you might have noticed CheckNICs - Checks a NIC for correct TCP/IP settings , which checks NICs against a series of IP parameters in a static IP environment. Additionally, searching the KiXtart BBS as outlined in Cannot find what you are looking for? with e.g. keywords 'change gateway' give me a lot of threads discussing IP configuration chnages. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

French_Opposum French_Opposum Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-11-15 Posts: 7	Dear SeaLeopard, I noticed "CheckNICs", of course. But i'm still confused: how to only change 25 to 50 in 192.168.25.x ? Moreover, I know how to search with booleen, etc.. I precise that I am not an expert in scripts.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Read IP address, split IP address into it's four octets, Replace third octet, reassemble IP address code: $ips=split(@IPADDRESS0,'.') for each $ip in $ips $ip=trim($ip) next $ip[2]='50' $ip=join($ips,'.') Corrected code [ 15. November 2002, 14:50: Message edited by: sealeopard ] _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	French, You can use DHCP and still assign specific IPs to clients. It's called DHCP reservations and I use them on my network. You can script the additions of the reservations as well. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	no, it is two. if you check jens code and mine above that, you will see that the octets count is starting from 0 so third octet is 2. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
