Hello, Michael!

Thanx for you extensive answer ;)

I was too... The matter was: the test win2k pro machine (where I ran all my
test code) silently cleaned its DNS servers list when I used
SetDNSServerSearchOrder() function, but didn't switch to getting DNS from
DHCP, it just sat there with DNS servers list empty... so I was sure I
missed something critical in my script or there's no possibility at all to
make a workstation use DNS settings provided by DHCP. But yesterday this
test machine got reinstalled and now everything seems Ok.. strange... I
don't know what it was preventing my script to run correctly, it's
impossible to investigate now (but this machine was messed up really bad,
it's got almost every kind of error messages in its eventlog ;), however
nothing concerning WMI...)

 MH> Am I not on the same page as you? True the documentation says

 MH> I ran this code on 2K Pro and it made everything DHCP
[code skipped]
Thanx for the code, you're absolutely right, the code is working
excellently. I hope I'll never stumble upon similar problem again...
