I had thought about writing the files with CF instead of using the scripting object, but to me there seems like less of a chance of something going wrong with using the WMI instead of writing the files (hopefully correct), editing the registry and then restarting the service. With the script object all of this gets done for me, don't think the DNS service even needs to get reset.
