Invalid Method while setting DNS Suffixes???

[desktoprat]

Hey guys, its been a few years since I've been around, but I am trying another round of teaching myself more about scripting. So, here goes.....

The following script works with the exception of the line that says

objNetAdapter.SetDNSSuffixSearchOrder(arrDNSSuffixes)

The error being returned is invalid method. I am looking at the TechNet listing for the method and I am pretty sure I am using the proper procedures in using it.

So, can you see what I'm not doing correctly???

Thank you,

Desktoprat

p.s. the values in the arrays have been changed to ensure I don't get any potential nasty notes from other people in my organization, whoever they may be.




'=========================================================
Option Explicit

Dim strComputer, strPrimaryServer, strSecondaryServer
Dim objWMIService, colNetAdapters, objNetAdapter
Dim errEnable, arrDNSServers, arrDNSSuffixes

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colNetAdapters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=TRUE")

For Each objNetAdapter In colNetAdapters
errEnable = objNetAdapter.EnableDHCP()
arrDNSServers = Array("1.2.3.4","1.2.3.5","1.2.3.6","1.2.3.7","1.2.3.8")
objNetAdapter.SetDNSServerSearchOrder(arrDNSServers)
arrDNSSuffixes = Array("abc.net", "abc.edu")
objNetAdapter.SetDNSSuffixSearchOrder(arrDNSSuffixes)
strPrimaryServer = "1.2.3.4"
strSecondaryServer = "1.2.3.5"
objNetAdapter.SetWINSServer strPrimaryServer, strSecondaryServer
Next

MsgBox "NIC has been configured

Ok, upon further review and finding a script I had played with some years ago, I added this line in

Set objNetworkSettings = objWMIService.Get("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")
arrDNSSuffixes = Array("abc.net", "abc.edu")
objNetworkSettings.SetDNSSuffixSearchOrder(arrDNSSuffixes)

Script is now working as expected. Feel free to critique or explain why it didn't work in the inititial iteration......

Thanks,
