I suppose you could also simply create a batch file for releasing the IP and put it on the users' desktops and have them double-click it before they shut down. I have seen this before . . . at least for NT 4.0. For win2k, I would definitely use the logoff script if you want to absolutely make sure that the IP is released.

In Win 2k, could you do a log off script for ipconfig /release?
