Changing IP by batch file as user

[scotamb]

Hi all,

I have 50+ Laptop users who require to change IP addresses between sites. Is there a way to change the Pc's Ip address by batch file, logged in as a user other than administrator. I am using a Netsh command in a batch file which works great but will only run with administrator privilages. Can anyone suggest a workaround or an alternative that still doesn't require giving the user admin privilages.

Cheers

Why not use DHCP at each site & cut out all the hard work?

You can use the RUNAS feature in your Netsh batch files to run with alternate credentials.

A way to 'hide' the credentials:

This program will also allow the use of alternate credentials and works quite well:
