Attempting April Fools joke. Have setup a 2nd DNS server that contains entries for msn.com, Gmail, ESPN.com that point to an internal IIS server with a fake "you are being monitored" message. My idea was to modify the DHCP scope to hand out the new DNS server IP address. But I need a way to force all the clients to do a release and renew to obtain the modified scope (and then be able to force back the old info). I can not run around to each desktop. Anyone got a clever way of doing this so I can "PUNK' my coworkers? Global Policy? Start Free Trial
