Hi Za Vue
Yes, netsh overwrites whatever is in the list at the time - either changing
it from dhcp to static, or changing the static. You can also use :
netsh interface ip set dns "local area connection" dhcp
to change it to dhcp - another trick we have thrown into startup scripts.
As for your second question - how do you get it to look at a list of pcs -
you would run a batch file that would read the list and send the netsh
command to the remote machines using a psexecute. Or, if you were me you
would write a 300 line vbs script that would take two weeks to execute and
do exactly the same thing.

Please respond to
ActiveDir
Does using Netsh clear the current static DNS settings?
Thanks,

Hi Mahammed
You could use the netsh command - either in a startup script or login
script, or run it remotely using psexecute.
netsh interface ip set dns "local area connection" static 10.10.10.10 netsh
interface ip add dns "local area connection" static 10.10.10.11
We have used those commands in a startup script when we change DNS at
locations where they only have static addressing and it has worked well.
Normally we would have 10 lines in the script for local area connections 1
to 5 - just because a lot of the older machines have had multiple
replacement nics. I am sure there is a way to make it apply to all active
connections but I have not spent any more time researching it.

Yes, DHCP should be pretty easy.
