Find "Boot Server Host Name" (Option 066) from within Windows Client RRS feed

    The value for "Boot Server Host Name" (Option 066) is different on each possible subnet a Windows Client may be on, or may not exist at all.

    Rather than hard-coding the possible PXE server addresses for every subnet into a script, I want to run a script from a Windows Client that returns the "Boot Server Host Name" (Option 066) contained within the DHCP scope for whatever subnet it may be on.

    Is this possible?  Preferably from .vbs

    this guy has put some effort in creating a script that reads and translates the DHCP options values from registry.

    i've tested it and seems good.

    DHCP automatically sets that on the client.  Why not just use the current setting?

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Hmmm, now to capture the output of the .ps1 so it can be used by the .vbs that launched it.
