Re: Deploying network settings via Group policy

Do you mean that you replace W2k pro machines, or that you
replaced with W2k pro? The policies for setting DNS is a
post-W2k policy, so if you replace W2k with XP or Vista you
may have an approach via policy. The most direct way would
possible be one form or another of remote script, such as use
of Wmi to a Wmi service attachment to each machine in turn
to set the values.

The company i work for recently replaced 500 machines, which are all
running windows 2000 professional, which was done by an external
company - it has become apparent recently that about 250 of these
machines have wrong dns and wims settings - is anyone aware of a way
to roll out these settings via a policy?

thanks
