setting IP information via script

Hello all,

I'm about to start looking into my options for configuring IP information
via script. IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and dns servers. A key thing
is that I need a solution that will work on Windows 2000, 2003, and 2008,
whether that be one method that works for all or one where I need to first
ascertain which OS is running and then branch logic accordingly.

what are my options? anyone have any links to some examples?

- all wsh/vbscript?

- WMI?

any input would be appreciated.

The first two scripts seem to be what you need.
