For me my question is why would I do it manually when I could have my DHCP server do it for me and for everyone..

How are you going to find an exchange server if your WINS settings are wrong? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Parrnelli GS11 Ben T Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 7:05 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Script execution via e-mail? Exchange 5.5 SP4 NT 4.0 SP6 SRP Outlook 2000 I'm in the process of changing WINS addresses on remote machines via a script. I know I'm not going to get everyone in the domain the first, second, or tenth time I run this script, however, and am looking for ways to streamline the process. Has anyone here ever created a mailbox that a user could send to that would execute a script? For example, I'm sitting at my machine 'NTPC1' and didn't get the WINS change. I can't change it myself, as I'm not admin on the local box. However, all I need to do is send a blank e-mail with 'WINSCHANGE NTPC1' in the subject and the script will be executed on my machine. Anyone?
