No reboot necessary, simply supply a text file listing of the computers
Const ForReading = 1
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile =
objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\list_of_computers.txt<file://smdckb90102/RestrictedApps$/Visio2007pro.txt>",
ForReading)
Dim arrFileLines()
i = 0
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
ReDim Preserve arrFileLines(i)
arrFileLines(i) = objFile.ReadLine
i = i + 1
Loop
objFile.Close
On Error Resume Next
For Each strLine in arrFileLines
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strLine & "\root\cimv2")
Set colNetCards = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * From Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration Where IPEnabled =
True")
For Each objNetCard in colNetCards
arrDNSServers = Array("192.168.1.100", "192.168.1.200")
objNetCard.SetDNSServerSearchOrder(arrDNSServers)
