Looking for a way to release/renew by login script or GPO

[Graham Prentice]

Have tried a local .bat file with:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

This works ok if executed locally.
I would like one user to run this from any computer in the domain.
If used in login script, after ipconfig /release - network connection is
gone and the /renew never happens.

The reason for this is using a radius server requires the ip address to be
reset when this user successfully logs in - but can happen on any computer
attached to the special radius switch.

Perhaps there is a tool out there that resets the network connection in one
command?

TIA, Graham

Found the best solution is to run a local script.
Had troubles getting the GPO to work on all machines.

If the batch file already exists on the local computer you should call it
from the logon script as the last line of the logon script file.
