JSI Tip 8017. Freeware utility enables DHCP on all NICs.

Running DHCPset.exe will enable DHCP on all NICs.

Harry Bates ([email protected]) has provided DHCPset.zip, which should be unzipped after downloading.

You can run DHCPset.exe in a computer's Startup script, user's logon script, from their Startup folder, via Group Policy software distribution, or remotely (via PsExec.exe). No switches are required.
