Hi Roger,
Here is Ken's script with an added section that changes the relevant
setting to DHCP. As Ken mentioned, this just handles the first TCP
configuration it finds, so you might need to add a check for other
configs, but it should get you started:
set configMethod to ""
set configName to ""
set cfg to ""
tell application "Network Setup Scripting"
open database
set config to current configuration set
repeat with i from 1 to count of configuration of config
if (class of configuration i of config) is (TCPIP v4 configuration)
then
set cfg to configuration i of config
set configName to name of config -- so you can check the name
to see
if it's the right one
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
set configMethod to configuration method of cfg
try
if configMethod �� "DHCP" then
begin transaction
set protec to get protection of configuration method of cfg
if protec = locked then return "Setting is locked"
set the configuration method of cfg to DHCP
end transaction
end if
on error errMsg number errNum
close database
return "Error: " & errMsg & " " & errNum
end try
close database
return "Setting changed to DHCP"
end tell
Note: there is a line above that uses the Mac's Not-equal sign
(option-equal): if configMethod **not-equal** "DHCP" then
It may not translate via email. Also beware of long lines wrapping. If
you want me to send you the actual script, send me an email off-list.
Sarah
