@george1421 Alright thanks for your help but I have to take a few steps back i guess I am trying to just run a simple batch file to confirm that at least my snapin configuration is correct and even that isn’t wokring properly. I am trying to run this batch file:

ECHO BATCH > C:\Users\REG\Desktop\BATCH_LOG.txt

and even this isn’t working and is just failing at “MIddleware:: Authentication Waiting for authentication timeout to pass”

Thanks for your help again I know this is starting to drag on. Is there any in depth literature on this sort of thing I can’t really seem to find any.

@george1421 Thanks for the reply I took what you said and did some test to try and get it to run and I thought I had solved it but it still doesnt change the IP. It was always my understanding that the SYSTEM had higher access than a normal admin account. I saw in the post you linked me that I could specify the user within the batch file? It runs fine when I just run it as admin without launching as a snapin. Any advice?

@wayne-workman I don’t want to get too off topic but all imaging and management is done in our office and then they are shipped to these conferences and are on their own LAN.

@tom-elliott I agree that the CSV file would be ideal and the fastest method however I was unsure how to setup the file and was trying to find an example to better understand. Should I just leave all headers blank and just list column A=Hostname Column B = IP Column C= Sunbet and so on? Thanks for your help again.

@george1421 Thanks for the link this is very familiar to the first link i provided in my first link. This seems almost perfect I just get confused setting up the .CSV. I know I can put it somewhere on the server to share it to the clients but do I not put headers in the .CSV. Do you have an example of a .CSV setup? Thanks again!

@wayne-workman Thanks for the input I replied to Tom to explain why DHCP is not an option I was just wondering if there was a more automated way of doing this. Any ideas?

@tom-elliott The problem with that is that we have sort of a special use case. We use our laptops as mobile kiosks for tradeshows and conventions and are unable to use a separate DHCP server per many convention centers and venues guidelines. Also for several security conferences the kiosks cannot be physically connected to the internet so DHCP just isn’t an option. The script idea was going to be my last resort since it will get pretty long and unwieldy after 600 or so laptops are added.

Hello I was wondering if there was an efficient way to use FOG to change the IP address of a computer after imaging. I stumbled across these two posts in my research and neither seemed to really have an answer.

One requires the use of the now outdated IP field and the other would require creating 600+ different snapins. Is there any way of doing this while using the fog hostname as the constant variable?

Thanks in advance!
