Static Ip Management with moving pcs
So i have a question which has been answered but i thought my situation is a little specif.
i need to manage 350+ static ips (One Large Workgroup) but the hurdles i have are:
1: they all the the same pc name.
2: they are all "assigned" a physical location. ex Seat #1 would have a seat id of 1 and an ip address of 172.32.5.1, seat #2 would have seat id 2 ip 172.32.5.2 ect.. (seat ids are set in the bingo program itself) win 7 hp on all pcs
but im working on a script to set those correct but gotta get the ips set in the correct physical locations before i can mass set the seat id as well.
And to top it off we swap units on a daily basis when they break.
we cant/wont use switches to manage this cause i think that our best bet. but im just working my way up the ladder and want to get this place in shape.
mac address wont work either cause they change as units are swapped out
and with pc names all the same i cant do it that way either.
Any advice it greatly appreciated.
