Network configuration

[heatstroke]

Sorry folks if this is not the right place...please direct me there.

I am imaging a bunch of PC's. I am looking for a way to prompt the admin for static ip and to add a local user when the box wakes up; either before or after sysprep.

Thanks for your consideration

Perhaps you can use a modification of the following vbs script. The scipt asks, if configure network with DHCP or set a static IP. when DHCP or an IP with 10. is entered, a proxy is automatically added to Mozillas defualt profile and to IE default profile:

Set wshshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

ip = "134.76.210.86"

mozpref ="\mozilla\defaults\pref\browser-prefs.js"

msg = "Should be used a static IP "& VbCr &"(if not, DHCP is enabled)?"

antwort = MsgBox(msg, vbYesNo + vbQuestion)

if antwort = vbNo then

befehl ="netsh interface ip set address source=dhcp name= "&"""Local Area Connection"""

kommando = "%COMSPEC% /C " & befehl

resultat = wshshell.Run ( kommando, 1, True )

befehl ="netsh interface ip delete dns name="&"""Local Area Connection""" & " addr=all"

kommando = "%COMSPEC% /C " & befehl

resultat = wshshell.Run ( kommando, 1, True )

befehl ="netsh interface ip delete wins name="&"""Local Area Connection""" & " addr=all"

kommando = "%COMSPEC% /C " & befehl

resultat = wshshell.Run ( kommando, 1, True )

proxy_eintragen(mozpref)

WScript.Quit

end if

Do

ip_neu = InputBox("Please enter the new IP:","Change IP", ip )

pos=InStrRev(ip_neu,".")

gateway = Left(ip_neu,pos) &"254"

If Left(ip_neu, 3) ="10." Then

subnet ="255.255.255.0"

Proxy_eintragen(mozpref)

Else

subnet="255.255.0.0"

End If

befehl ="netsh interface ip set address source=static name= "&"""Local Area Connection"""&" addr="& ip_neu &" mask="& subnet &" gateway="& gateway & " 1"

kommando = "%COMSPEC% /C " & befehl

resultat = wshshell.Run ( kommando, 1, True )

If Not resultat = 0 Then

Msg ="Changing failed" & vbCR & "the IP was:" & ip_neu & vbCR

Msg = Msg & vbCr & "Continue anyway?"

antwort = MsgBox(Msg, vbYesNo + vbQuestion)

End If

Loop While ((Not resultat = 0) And (antwort = vbNo))

Sub Proxy_eintragen(preffile)

programdir = wshshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%programfiles%")

preffile = programdir & preffile

Set file = fs.Getfile(preffile)

file.Attributes = file.Attributes And Not (8+16+64+128+256+1024+2048) And Not 1

Set textstream = fs.OpenTextFile(preffile, 8, True )

textstream.WriteLine "pref(""network.proxy.autoconfig_url"", ""http://www.mpibpc.gwdg.de/cgi-bin/proxy.pl""'>http://www.mpibpc.gwdg.de/cgi-bin/proxy.pl"" );"

textstream.WriteLine "pref(""network.proxy.type"", 2);"

textstream.close
