remote use of NETSH

The docs say I can use netsh remotely

I want to set my DNS servers on remote machines - but it doesn't work

I can set the DNS servers for my local interfaces fine

I can even connect remotely to other machines using netsh - but there seems
to be no way to set the DNS servers when connected remotely - it doesn't
understand the 'set dnsserver' command

Thoughts?

Hi Blake,

I also had this problem a time ago, but i solved with psexec from
Sysinternals like this:
C:\PsTools>psexec.exe \\machine_ip -u domain/user -p password netsh
interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 10.0.0.1 primary

Have a nice day!

Thanks - I had thought about using a sysinternals tool...

I'll try that!
