Hello everybody,

I am a Administrator in the Domain.I can let the users of Domain Admin to
change its IP address through the Logon script. But,how about the Domain
Users ?
I want to let the domain user change its IP address through the logon
script. How can I do ? Can someone help me edit the script to do that ?

Your normal users (i.e. not domain admins) generally lack the privileges
required to modify the configuration of the workstations. This is a good
thing, as it keeps them from making changes that interfere with its ability
to function properly. Imagine, for example, if they were to set the IP
address to something not in your subnet.

But why is it that you want them to change the IP address? And how will your
logon script ensure that it will never cause duplicate IP addresses?

Why not let DHCP provide the IP addresses your workstations require?

Al,

You took the words right out of my mouth!

Joe

Because I want to bind down the IP addresses to different users.So when
logon from the different computer,they can change themself IP address
through the logon script.

IP addresses should be associated with computers, not users. In most cases,
users do not have permissions to change IP addresses, and they should not.

Look at this Logon Script
************************************************************************************
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colNetAdapters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * From Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration Where IPEnabled =
True")
For Each objNetAdapter in colNetAdapters
objNetAdapter.SetGateways array()
next
************************************************************************************

How to let the Domain Users run this script before logon access by Logon
Script in Group Policy Object.

When I asked you "Why not let DHCP provide the IP addresses your
workstations require?" I was kind of hoping to get a reason somewhat more
rationale than "because I don't want to". I know you don't want to, I just
don't know why you don't want to, nor can I imagine a valid reason for this
posture.

That way lies madness. Once a user logs on and the IP is set, what will its
IP address be on that workstation when the user logs off? If the same, then
if the use logs on at another workstation, the script will be attempting to
create a duplicate IP address. There is a component designed to prevent this
problem automatically, and it is called DHCP.

Domain users cannot do anything before logging on, as they are not known as
domain users until they have been identified as such.

As noted by Al, this requires the users to manage IP addresses across the
network (to prevent duplicates), which is impossible. Just guessing, but
perhaps your real aim is to track which users are logged on by pinging some
IP address assigned to them. If so, this cannot work. What is your real
purpose?

Please look at this Logon Script

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colNetAdapters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _

For Each objNetAdapter in colNetAdapters
objNetAdapter.SetGateways array()

************************************************************************************
In this logon script , I just want to change the Gateways address !!!!! When
the Gateways address is null, the user can't connect to the Internet !!!
