netsh

[charleh \(moif\)]

Hello,

I have been given the task to disable DNS on a number of client machines.
Currently, due to the servers remote location, I am remoting in via
PCAnywhere and browsing the network via Network Neighbourhood. We aren't on
AD, just basic peer to peer and the server acting as a file server.

What I don't want to do (only as a last resort) is login to each client via
PCA individually as Admin and change the settings manually as this causes
downtime. I have been researching netsh and it appears that I can connect to
a client from the server and change the DNS settings that way.

Is this the case and if so, what is the correct syntax? Given that the
client machine name is L123 and we want DNS settings of either 0.0.0.0 or
127.0.0.1

Many thanks
