dint10 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hi, this is a very handy wee utility that we have started to install on users 2K / XP desktops at work. http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techi.../wntipcfg-o.aspPretty sure I could include this no bother - not sure which folder to drop it in to though. Anyone tried / know? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 unless i am mistaken ipconfig /all does the same job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dint10 Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Yes - indeed it does. However, have you ever tried to talk a user through it on the other end of a phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 good comment i guess you could incude it in FILESCD\$OEM$\$$\System32\ Folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dint10 Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Mmmm. Forgive me, I am sure you know a lot more about this than I do, but why would I want to do that? Usually, when I install this on a machine it creates a directory under 'Program files'. From there one has just to create a shortcut from the exe on to the desktop.

Jono Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 oh sorry i thought this was like one of the resource kit tools which you can just run and not install, i will have a look at the program now and give you the location you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 ok place it in the SVC-X2M Folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dint10 Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 Thanks - I'll try that and let you know how I get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 SVC-X2M it is. Personally, I just add the winipcfg.exe (the actual program, not the installer) in SYSTEM32, and create a shortcut in System Tools, as installation, as such, is not required.

dint10 Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 Just to let you know I tried that and it worked a treat. Thanks to both of you for your advice. Now then, I know that this isn't really the right thread to ask this but I wonder if you could now tell me how to create a shortcut for this that would sit in the All Users desktop? Thanks again.

GreenMachine Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I use MAKESCUT from ScriptLogic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dint10 Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 Thanks a lot - I appreciate all your help. I'll check it out. I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking a look at the problem I am having now? I have posted it under the Unattended Windows thread as 'Problem at 13 mins to go stage'.Thanks again.
