Hello kendas,

I would do this?

set wshshell=createobject("wscript.shell")
wshshell.run "ipconfig /release_all",,true
wshshell.run "ipconfig /renew_all"
set wshshell=nothing

regards - tsuji

kendas,

Just be careful if you are executing the code above remotely. Unless you copy and execute this script directly on the PC, there is a very high likelyhood that it won't complete. Once the release is compleated you will loose all network connectivity.

Use PSEXEC from Sysinternals to copy and remotely execute the script.

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Regards,

Mark
