here is how to set an ip address with powershell. The script you posted is calling several VB scripts there is no way of knowing everything that document is trying to do. If you give us an outline of what you want done we can write something up for you

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/\library/hh826151(v=wps.630).aspx

Here is how to do it using WMI

$IP      = "10.0.1.123"
$NetMask = "255.255.248.0"
$Gateway = "10.0.0.1"
$DNS     = "10.0.7.203"

$adapter = Get-WmiObject win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration `
    -filter "IPEnabled = 'true'"
$adapter.EnableStatic($IP, $NetMask)
Sleep -Seconds 4
$adapter.SetGateways($Gateway)
$adapter.SetDNSServerSearchOrder($DNS)

Thanks Mark

So that script that i have above is on my images when i run it it prompts me for what ip do i want to use so say I type
10.0.1.123
subnetmask and DNS does not change for us so thats fine i can set that with the commands you gave me

our gateway is depended on the first 3 octet of the pc’s ip in this case it will be 10.0.1.22
and always ends in .22

ip scheme changes depending on the store location.

the following is how my batch file looks like with out all the VB scripts that i was using to add printers

SET /p _compIP=“Enter the IP for the PC:”
FOR /f “tokens=1-4 delims=. " %%a IN (”%_compIP%") DO (
SET _octetA=%%a
SET _octetB=%%b
SET _octetC=%%c
SET _octetD=%%d
)
SET _gateway=%_octetA%.%_octetB%.%_octetC%.22

NETSH INT IPV4 SET ADDRESS “LOCAL AREA CONNECTION” STATIC “%_compIP%” “255.255.255.224” “%_gateway%”
NETSH DNSCLIENT ADD DNSSERVER “LOCAL AREA CONNECTION” 10.23.25.30 1
NETSH DNSCLIENT ADD DNSSERVER “LOCAL AREA CONNECTION” 10.23.25.40 2

===========================================================
after running it with the above ip it will change the ip, subnet, gateway, dns 1 and 2 to the following

10.0.1.123
255.255.255.224
10.0.1.22

DNS
10.23.25.30
10.23.25.40

4

so if you run this. it will prompt you for an ip address it will then take the first 3 octets and append it with 22 to make the Gateway

$IP = (read-host -prompt "Please enter IP Address")
$NetMask = "255.255.255.224"
$Gateway = ($IP.TrimEnd($ip.Split(".")[-1]) + "22")
$DNS     = "10.23.25.30"



$adapter = Get-WmiObject win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration `
    -filter "IPEnabled = 'true'"
$adapter.EnableStatic($IP, $NetMask)
Sleep -Seconds 4
$adapter.SetGateways($Gateway)
$adapter.SetDNSServerSearchOrder($DNS)
5

here is what you want as a Function you run the script or . source it
then type

Set-IPaddress 10.0.1.123

Function Set-IPaddress {
    [cmdletbinding()]
    Param(
        [parameter(ValueFromPipeline)]
        [ValidatePattern(^([1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])(\.([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])){3}$)]
        [string[]]$IP
    )
    Process {
        $NetMask = "255.255.255.224"
        $Gateway = ($IP.TrimEnd($ip.Split(".")[-1]) + "22")
        $DNS     = "10.23.25.30"
        $adapter = Get-WmiObject win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration  -filter "IPEnabled = 'true'"
        $adapter.EnableStatic($IP, $NetMask)
        Sleep -Seconds 4
        $adapter.SetGateways($Gateway)
        $adapter.SetDNSServerSearchOrder($DNS) 
    }
}

this version will check valid IP address

$Gateway = ($IP.TrimEnd($ip.Split(“.”)[-1]) + “22”)

this basically says take 10.0.1.123 remove the 123 from the end and add 22 then store it in a variable called $Gateway

Cool thanks for all your help Mark
