Using VBScript
This code configures the Registry blob that enables alternate IP configuration on a particular
NIC. Before you run this script, you need to obtain the GUID for the appropriate NIC at the
command line using the following syntax:
> wmic nicconfig get ipaddress,settingid > \foo.txt
> for /f "tokens=2" %a in ('type foo.txt ^| findstr
"<IP Address>"') do echo %a
Here is the VBScript code:
' ------ SCRIPT CONFIGURATION ------
Const CONNECTED = 2
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
Const strComputer = "."
' Modify the following six variables
' to meet the needs of your environment
strTargetGUID = "{01B3816C-AB47-3E53-CB7C-88345293465}"
strAlternateIP = "192.168.1.151"
strAlternateMask = "255.255.255.0"
strAlternateGW = "192.168.1.1"
strAlternateDNS1 = "192.168.1.120"
strAlternateDNS2 = "192.168.1.121"
' ------ END CONFIGURATION ---------
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
