I was recently asked if I could change the DNS & WINS IP address on multiple servers via script. PowerShell to the rescue! After a brief search, I found a great post. Following is my implementation.
function Set-DNSWINS {
#Get NICS via WMI
$NICs = Get-WmiObject '
-Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration '
-ComputerName $_ '
-Filter "IPEnabled=TRUE"
foreach($NIC in $NICs) {
$DNSServers = "12.34.5.67","76.54.3.21"
$NIC.SetDNSServerSearchOrder($DNSServers)
$NIC.SetDynamicDNSRegistration("TRUE")
$NIC.SetWINSServer("12.345.67.890", "12.345.67.891")
}
}
function Get-FileName {
$computer = Read-Host "Filename of computer names?"
return $computer
}
$f = Get-FileName
Get-Content $f foreach {Set-DNSWINS}
Gotta love PowerShell!
