scripting multiple IP address on a closed network

General discussion
-
im looking to find a way to script multiple IP address from a central server the script below works great, one i found her on msn however it only works per machines power shell, if someone has a moment is there a way to modify the randomness of an IP address set to static or DHCP on many machines at once or should i be looking at this differently i have even thought about using
Apart from modifying network adapter properties from the Control Panel, you can also use the Command line tool to enable disable Network Interface Card.
- Press Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
- In the elevated command prompt, copy and paste the command below, and press Enter. This will show you all network adapter names on your PC. netsh interface show interface
- To enable NIC type, the following command: netsh interface set interface "network_adapter_name" admin=enable (e.g netsh interface set interface "MyEthernet" admin=enable)
To disable NIC type, the following command: netsh interface set interface "network_adapter_name" admin=disable (e.g netsh interface set interface "MyEthernet" admin=disable)
i still think it is a little too manual any suggestions would be welcome
$IPAddress=$(Read-Host "Specify your IP address (ie 192.168.1.10)") $InterfaceIndex=$(Read-Host "Enter InterfaceIndex (ie 3) NOTE: Enter 'Show' for help") foreach ($InterfaceIndex in $InterfaceIndex){ if ($InterfaceIndex -eq "Show" -eq "show") { Get-NetIPAddress | Format-List -Property InterfaceAlias,InterfaceIndex } if ($InterfaceIndex -eq "Show" -eq "show") { $InterfaceIndex=$(Read-Host "Enter InterfaceIndex") } if (-Not ($InterfaceIndex -eq "Show" -eq "show")) { } } $SubnetMask=$(Read-Host "Enter the subnet mask in bits (ie 24 = 255.255.255.0)") $DefaultGateway=$(Read-Host "Enter your Default Gateway (ie 192.168.1.1)") $DNSAddresses=$(Read-Host "Set DNS Server Address/Addresses (ie 8.8.8.8)") New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress $IPAddress -InterfaceIndex $InterfaceIndex -PrefixLength $SubnetMask -DefaultGateway $DefaultGateway Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex $InterfaceIndex -ServerAddresses $DNSAddresses $Servers = $DefaultGateway,$DNSAddresses $Ping=$(Read-Host "Do You want me to Ping your Default Gateway and DNS Servers? Yes/No") if ($Ping -eq "Yes" -eq "yes") { foreach ($Server in $Servers) { if (Test-Connection -ComputerName $Server -Count 2 -Quiet) { Write-Host "$Server is alive and Pinging " -ForegroundColor Green } else { Write-Warning "$Server seems dead not Pinging" } } } if ($Ping -eq "No" -eq "no") { Write-Host "Good bye!" } elseif (-Not ($Ping -eq "Yes" -eq "yes")) { } Read-Host "Press any key to close..."
i have also found this command for netsh
FOR /L %A IN (10,1,20) DO netsh interface ipv4 add address “Local Area Connection” 192.168.1.%A 255.255.255.0
looks like i can add multiple domains add address, but not sure how to script this

You have numerous coding errors like:
if ($Ping -eq "No" -eq "no") {
"-eq" is not case sensitive. This is unnecessary.

still looking for a way to set this up for multiple computers, or create a script that will allow it to auto DHCP across the nework to get its own IPWednesday, November 20, 2019 1:39 PM

Your question doesn't make any sense; sorry.
