Hi Richard,
First off i want to say that your book is awesome and is so well laid out and easy(er for WMI) to understand.
Could i also pick your brains in an issue i am having with some end users. All end users are on dhcp. However, when they are connecting from home on VPN, when they try to access a sharepoint site they get alot of issues. One way we have worked around this is to change their nic settings to static and manually configure the dns settings to 8.8.8.8. This then navigates around the connection issue to our sharepoint sites.
I have come across your DNS settings (Technique 86) but as you said that is for a static address. Our users are not local admins so they are unable to change this while out of the office. Is there a way i can change their nic to static so i can configure their dns to 8.8.8.8?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Steve
