I have to make a DNS change at a certain time - say 9:00 PM tonight ;). &nbsp;It's simply changing a cname to point to a different FQDN.<br />
<br />
So, lets say I want to change myweb.company.com &nbsp;to go from webserver1.company.com to instead point to webserver2.company.com.<br />
<br />
I know nothing about scripting, but shirley ( ;)) this is simple to do and automate? &nbsp;How to do it please, in simple network engineer (not Windows engineer) terms ... ;)<br />

DNS server is Windows 2003 server. &nbsp;Normally I use MMC to do IP Address Management. &nbsp;
