hi there, I'm planning to write a powershell script that will update the IP, Gateway, DNS, and Subnet mask of multiple servers in our windows environment.  My preference would be to launch the script from a single location and using WMI..to go out and make the updates to the remote servers instead of logging into each server and making the update.

This is sort of not a Powershell question but I thought I would throw it out here on the forum:

One major concern I have is that when I connect from ServerA to serverB to update the network configuration on ServerB, I will kick myself off the server before I complete the change.  Is there a way I can make those network configuration updates before being kicked off of the server because the IP address has changed?

what i've done is have the script create a local file on the remote server, then kick that off through a scheduled task. make sure that part of what you do is to force the server to re-register itself to the DNS servers.

thanks for the information. I need to update 30+ servers. I might look to C# and place an executable on each server to perform the update.
