Powershell - 25 DHCP Scopes Creation - 2K8 R2


Recommended Posts

I found a few options but they are for Windows 2012.

and others but just seems those cmds arent available (and i cant upgrade PS right now).

 

 

Here is a snippet of the ranges needed:

I'm not so good with Powershell but learning as i go :)

I created one using batch file but i guess powershell is what the boss wanted since it took a while.

 

However it took a while because i didnt know how to properly import a CSV file and pipe the commands in.

 

So basically i ended up creating something like this

REM -- Batch file to create a scopes on a DHCP server      
       
REM       
      
REM -- Creating Scope 10.220.96.128 with range 10.220.96.170-254, Gateway 10.220.96.129
      
netsh dhcp server 10.216.67.20 add scope 10.220.96.128 255.255.255.128 "VLAN 101" set state 0

netsh dhcp server 10.216.67.20 scope 10.220.96.128 add IPRANGE 10.220.96.170 10.220.96.254

netsh dhcp server 10.216.67.20 scope 10.220.96.128 set optionvalue 003 IPADDRESS 10.220.96.129

netsh dhcp server 10.216.67.20 scope 10.220.96.128 set state 0


REM -- Creating Scope 10.220.97.0 with range 10.220.97.12-62 Gateway 10.220.97.1
      
netsh dhcp server 10.216.67.20 add scope 10.220.97.0 255.255.255.192 "VLAN 120" set state 0

netsh dhcp server 10.216.67.20 scope 10.220.97.0 add IPRANGE 10.220.9.112 10.220.97.62

netsh dhcp server 10.216.67.20 scope 10.220.97.0 set optionvalue 003 IPADDRESS 10.220.97.1

netsh dhcp server 10.216.67.20 scope 10.220.97.0 set state 0


REM -- Creating Scope 10.220.97.64 with range 10.220.97.76-126, Gateway 10.220.97.65
      
netsh dhcp server 10.216.67.20 add scope 10.220.97.64 255.255.255.192 "VLAN 121" set state 0

netsh dhcp server 10.216.67.20 scope 10.220.97.64 add IPRANGE 10.220.97.76 10.220.97.126 

netsh dhcp server 10.216.67.20 scope 10.220.97.64 set optionvalue 003 IPADDRESS 10.220.97.65

netsh dhcp server 10.216.67.20 scope 10.220.97.64 set state 0

Which as you can imagine is a pain if you had 100 scopes to create!

There are so many powershell examples for this out there, Check out The Scripting Guys website.

 

Linked to those above but mentioned some were for 2012 and i am on 2008 R2. Also PowerShell cant get upgraded this moment because of some other changes going on so for example:

 

Add-DHCPServerV4Scope

 

Does not work in the current setup. I would love if that was the case but sadly not.... well not yet. We will be doing some 2012 R2 upgrades later but for now just gotta work with what we got.

Same here.  I just wish there was more I could do @ home to learn.

I think the best way to learn for me would be to identify a problem, then learn how to solve it with PS - only problem is @ home, I dont have server/network problem/issues

you can use netsh -f config_dhpc.txt

 

The text file will contain the following (I did the first 2).  You can do a find and replace to the values, but it wouldn't be a fun task for 100's of scopes to add in...then again you probably wouldnt be adding in this many scopes at one time unless you were trying to do a manual restore either from memory or documentation.  I can't see this being a very easy task.

Kix is very powerful and easy to view and setup. Works every time without fail. Don't have to pray to the ms gods for gpo to function and don't need a ton of coding to get things to function.

Map a drive with vbscript based on group membership, I can do it in 3 lines with kix. I can add a printer with one line, I can default a printer in another line.

LOL! 

 

If you need to write login scripts still (especially in vbscript and kix), you don't understand group policy. I can create printers, drive mappings, and set defaults all with a few mouse clicks. I haven't prayed to MS in a long time (never), and GPO seems to work 100% of the time for me. 

They work when I need a config change. When I need immediate gratification they don't work fast enough. How are you pushing drive mappings that need to happen in 10 minutes? Or do you wait the 45 minutes to an hour for replication to take place?

I add the user to the group then have them log off and back on a minute later. No waiting or having them run commands to get group policy to reapply.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
