VBSCRIPT To change Ipconfiguration to Obtain an IP address automatically

I found a batch file that resets the network adapter settings. Can someone please convert this to vbscript? Or if someone already has a solution? I need to change the TCP/IP settings to Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically? Can someone please help.


Here is the batch file

@echo off
:prompt
color 1f
cls
echo NETWORK RESET SCRIPT

:test
cls
echo —————————————————-
echo - RELEASING IP…. -

ipconfig /release >nul

does it need to be VBSCRIPT - the netsh command will do this (I suppose you could always call this from VB is you need to)

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp

Something like this? 
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colNetAdapters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=TRUE")
For Each objNetAdapter In colNetAdapters
	errEnable = objNetAdapter.EnableDHCP()
	If errEnable = 0 Then
		Wscript.Echo "DHCP has been enabled."
	Else
		Wscript.Echo "DHCP could not be enabled."
	End If
Next

Woolmilkporc I am getting an error that DHCP could not be enabled.


I am trying to use this on Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems.

I noticed that the batch file does not work on Windows 2000 either.

Please advice.

KCTS

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp solution did work. I was able to convert it to vbscript.

Thanks for the suggestion.
