One batch runs a series of dnscmd commands: some work, some don’t. For example,� “dnscmd localhost /resetlistenaddresses 192.168.100.30” reports that is reset successfully but when I look in the GUI to confirm, I see that the address has been added to the list but the radio button is still set to All IP Addresses. Further, when I run the command to add an A record, it tells me that it worked, but alas, not A record in the zone. Any thoughts on 1) using dnscmd or 2) some same scripts to set up DCs. Thanks. nme   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah M. Eiger EIS Consulting for PRBO Conservation Science 510-717-5742 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
