You can do it in powershell as well, with that you could query the domain and then set the ip from that variable.

note, you may need opening notepad 'by administrator' to be able to store the settings.<br />

That wouldn't help with DNS nor would it facilitate the setting of the IP. That won't achieve anything pertaining to the IP address change at all unfortunately

You could use a hash group and a single script fella, give me some time and I can write one up

I just realized I only answered part of the question :<br />
<br />
Switch back to DHCP : 
<pre><code id="code-20-42686804-1">netsh interface ip set address &quot;Local Area Connection&quot; dhcp</code></pre>
</div>

Switch back to DHCP :

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp

OK. Don't know what a hash group is, but would be nice to know.<br />
On the other hand - I'm quite familiar with batch files, so the mentioned commands above is easy for me to implement.<br />

I bring my (Windows 10 Pro) laptop around to do support in a few different networks - some with DHCP and some where a fixed IP-address is needed. Have tried to find a way to make shortcuts to set the fixed addresses (or set the network adapter back to dhcp), but haven't found a way to do it. Thinking of commands in a batch-file. Any suggestions?<br />

Shortcuts to set IP addresses in Win 10

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

DHCP

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.
