You can do this using psexec.exe (free d/l) from www.sysinternals.com

psexec \\server ipconfig /renew

Can be used on W2k and up or on NT and down stations with WMI installed:


===========================================
remotePC = "Server"

'** To view
cl = "cmd /c ipconfig.exe>c:\temp\$$ipconfig"

'** remove comment to renew address... (not tested)
'cl = "cmd /c ipconfig.exe /renew>c:\temp\$$ipconfig"


set locator = createobject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
set services = locator.connectserver(remotePC, "root/cimv2")
set process = services.get("win32_process")
process.create cl,,,pid
query="Select * From Win32_Process Where Handle='" & pid & "'"
Do
Wscript.Sleep 100
Set x=services.ExecQuery(query)
Loop while x.count > 0
sourcefile = "\\" & remotePC & "\c$\temp\$$ipconfig"
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(sourcefile, 1, false)
output = .ReadAll
.close
End With
msgbox "Machine: " & remotePC & vbcr & output
===========================================

Can be further expanded to set a different temp file location and it's removal at the end...

if you want to renew automatically at logon you can use a bat or shell.run
in vbs with the command line ipconfig /renew

But do you mean to do them all now or at logon?

Set strComputer to the value you need.

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from
Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled = true")

RenewDHCP

Sub RenewDHCP()
For Each objItem In colItems
errRenew = objItem.RenewDHCPLease
msgbox "renew called"
If errRenew = 0 Then
Wscript.Echo "DHCP lease renewed."
Else
Wscript.Echo "DHCP lease could not be renewed." & err.number &
err.description
End If
Next
End Sub
