Re: Modifying DNS Settings for different subnets

quick and easy way would be to run ipconfig via your script and parse the output...
or im sure WMI can get it for you

Hey there guys,

I've written a script that installs an application, and the application
requires a specific DNS order for the machines in different subnets. The
problem is that I can't do a global GPO, because not everyone is getting this
software, and laptop users would then have a problem with accessing the
internet when they took it home.

What I need is a script that will check the machines gateway address, and if
it's a certain gateway, then it'll change the DNS settings according to
what's needed.

Example:

If gateway = 192.168.10.1
Then arrDNSServers = Array("192.168.10.2", "192.168.10.3")
ElseIf gateway = 192.168.50.1
Then arrDNSServers = Array("192.168.50.2", "192.168.50.3")
EndIf

If that makes sense...I know how to change the DNS settings for the
machine...it's pulling the default gateway address out of it. Any ideas?

Thanks again!

Best Regards,

.
