    Configure DHCP.zip
    Enable DHCP on the fly.

    Have you ever ran into a new customer that has static IP addresses and you want to prevent having to walk to every computer and enable DHCP?

    This script uses the NETSH command built into windows to check current config and enable DHCP.

    Great Script!

    It worked fine, but I noticed the DNS didn't change back to automatic as well.. Adding the following line should do it.. netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" dhcp
