Hello,

I know this is a bit off topic, but was wondering if the OpenDNS team or a user here is familiar with updating dns entries via the registry, by using a .reg file?

I researched doing this so that I may automate dns changes to clients, by sending them a .reg file to execute. I came across the following but it only applied to a tool in a windows administrator toolkit. They mentioned changes values at this location;
---
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
under the NameServer value, Each dns entry should be separated by a space
---
Wondering if anyone could provide some advice before I proceed to mess about (and yes I will backup the registry at every step )

Thanks,

Brian

Perfect solution, I forgot all about that command.

I just whipped up a simple batch script that works perfectly, here is the code for anyone interested, works fine in win2k.

[code]
title DNS Changer
cls
@echo off
echo DNS Changer
echo (C)2007 BPV Webdesigns
echo http://www.bpvwebdesigns.com

ipconfig /flushdns
netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 208.67.222.222
netsh interface ip add dns name="Local Area Connection" addr=208.67.220.220
ipconfig /registerdns
echo CLOSING . . . . . .
exit
[/code]

Just copy and past it into notepad, and save it as whatever.bat instead of txt, and your good to go ;)
