Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
I'm trying to create a batch file to run on a PC for setup purposes.
It needs to set the IP and Computer and Workgroup.
So far IP and Computer name work until a restart when the IP settings appear to drop out. I then need to go into the Newtork Settings -> TCP/IP Properties -> Advanced and just 'OK' out of there without changing it, then when I restart there are no issues. Can anyone help me with why this would be and how I can fix it?
Also,
If anyone is able to help with how to set a Workgroup from a batch file?
