Richard,

Changing the Node Type on any computer is not terribly difficult. It's one
registry edit.

Scripting a registry edit is not terribly hard either. Applying the change in a
logon script is probably the simplest. If you wish to push the change to your
computers, any automated update process would work. Just apply a .reg file
containing the registry edit.

This is the content of a .reg file, assuming that you're using DHCP, that will
make your change:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters]
"DhcpNodeType"=dword:00000004
