Change gateway IP remotely using netsh

Can anyone help on correct/complete netsh command to change client default
gateway IP remotely. Users are not part of administrator group on client PC.
Try to run this from one server, instead of hopping on hundreds of PCs.
Thanks!

First of all, I would use DHCP if I had over hundred computers. You can
use -r, for example, netsh -r <remote machine's current IP> interface ip set
address "Local Area Connection" static <IP Address> <Subnet Mask> <Default
Gateway> 1.

Since the user doesn't have administrator right, you may create a script and
run it under group policy. This post may help too.

Why aren't they using DHCP?

I was also thinking,...if you have "hundreds of machines" and since Ethernet
is not supposed to go 250-300 machines per subnet (typically a /24 mask or
254 host serves the purpose perfectly) then do you have over that
many?,...and if you do, do you have it broken into subnets,...and if you do
that the Default Gatreway won't be the same in different subnets,...so you'd
have to be careful with how you apply the GPO.

Can administrator/password be part of the netsh command so we don;t have to
use policy? Thanks.

There are< 200 production floor PCs and needs to be on static IPs. Thanks.

If your static IP reservations are set up in DHCP you can assign a gateway
IP address to individual reservations - that's how I load share between
several broadband routers on our LAN.

This method meets your requirement of controlling from the (DHCP) server.

Sure, you can use -u and -p switch. This link may help.
