My users are not admins on their computers, but our DHCP service is often
down.  I need to allow them to do an ipconfig /release and renew without
admin rights.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I have been looking for the answer to this question for at least two years,
this would resolve problems with notebook users for me.  It seems that many
of my notebook users that use SBC at home cannot renew their IP addresses
once they return to the office with being given administrator rights.

I do not know why none of the experts have ever answered this question - How
do we give full ipconfig rights to a non-administrative user through an
active directory group policy?

Drew, I'll keep you posted if this question ever gets answered.

And thank you to any Active Directory Guru that can assist with this problem.
