There are other better ways to do this; - Easiest and best for long term management: DHCP. - Logon script - keep the old WINS Servers up so that the workstations can still find the DCs and netlogon folders; After a while (maybe your "tenth time", remove the old WINS server, remove the entry from the logn script. If anyone still hasn't gotten the change, they'll call you soon enough when they can't log on.
