Need Registry Script to change DNS Server Preferred & Alternate IPs
I have an application that only runs when I remove static DNS Server IPs from the Local Area Connection Properties. The app actually launches, but after entering login info, it returns a connection error. Only after changing the DNS to automatic will it work properly. (If I then immediately set DNS back to static, the app works normally if I exit the program and launch it again.)

I'd like to crete a registry script that would set DNS to automatic, then reset it to specific primary and secord IPs. But most importantly, the script should allow for the "Apply" or "OK" function, so that the settings are refreshed at the completion of the script.

Anyone with any ideas as to why this problem may be occurring, or would anyone care to share a script that would accomplish the above? Thanks.

I'm curious, which application is this that requires specific DNS settings?

[pmorris]

It's third-party proprietory app that my company uses. The app runs fine on other machines in our AD network, so it appears that the issue is local. Nonetheless, the matter is always resolved on this particular machine by clearing the static primary and secondary DNS server IPs, and enabling them again.

Have you asked the 3rd party vendor if they have heard of the same issue, and if there is any patches?

The reason I ask is that this appears to be a DNS issue within your AD network, and not an application issue.
