Thank for your answer.. sorry, I am a slow learner.
On Obtain DNS automatically (under Local Area Connection Properties ->
Internet Protocal TCP/IP
properties).. How can I change it from fix DNS to automatically on CLIENTS?
I do not want to go on each computer and change it manually.
Is there any other way such as a srcipt?
Thanks

I think you may have to visit each desktop to set it to dhcp...maybe someone
else knows another way.

I found this code in the script repository. I guess you could place it as a
shutdown script and the next time the computer boots it would be a dhcp
client. Post to the group if you need any help in assigning it.

Enabling DHCP

Description
Enables the DHCP client service on a computer. The computer will then use
DHCP to obtain an IP address rather than use a static IP address.

Script Code

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colNetAdapters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=TRUE")
For Each objNetAdapter In colNetAdapters
errEnable = objNetAdapter.EnableDHCP()
If errEnable = 0 Then
Wscript.Echo "DHCP has been enabled."
Else
Wscript.Echo "DHCP could not be enabled."
End If
