If not, what I really need to do is execute ipconfig /release (or equivalent) run at system shutdown

There is no way to tell the scheduler to execute a task at shutdown. It can, however, be done using Group Policy (Start/Run GPEDIT.MSC) in the Shutdown Script under Computer Configuration, Scripts. All you need to do is create a .CMD file to launch that command.

Do you have a Windows-based DHCP server? Go to Scope Options for the scope, the Advanced tab, set the Vendor class to be 'Microsoft Options' and tick the option '002 Microsoft Release DHCP Lease On Shutdown Option', and set the value to 1.

The clients will then apply this option the next time they renew their lease. Once this is done, they should do what you want.

If your DHCP server is not based on Windows, the option may still be there, but I don't know how to apply it.

Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

I'll pass this on to the network guy.

The problem is that some of our servers use DHCP (WTF?).

For security reasons, you can't. It's impossible to launch a process remotely as interactive unless the target machine is Windows 2000 SP2 or LOWER. It cannot be done on Windows 2000 SP3 and above, including XP and 2003, and expressly documented as such here[^].

How to find System PATH variable MAX LENGTH in windows

Hi,
Iam Leela Krishna from India. I would like to know is there any to find the maximum length of PATH (system environment) Variable on a particular machine.

As you might be aware that some windows systems at present support 1024 and 2048 characters, Is there anyway to find whether a particular machine is having the maximum limit of PATH is 1024 or 2048.

Also is there anyway to find the list of PATCHES and HOT FIXES installed on a machine, this can help me atleast to find out if a machine has the Microsoft Hot Fix for increasing PATH length.

Thanks a lot for your replies.

Regards,
Leela Krishna

Try to use the SET command line and it will display a list environment variable in your computer. Try to use this command SET > Env.txt to save all of the result to a file. And you might need to programming to read and count the content of the file line by line. Hope this would help you.

How to UNINSTALL VISTA

Bugs can neither be created nor be removed from software by a developer. They can only be converted from one form to another. The total number of bugs in the software always remain constant.

Well, first you must have the disc for whichever operating system you want to install next. When you put the disc in, you should have an option to format your hard drive, then install your new os.

There's no way to just uninstall Vista without installing something in it's place first.

Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.

Do you perform a clean installation of windows vista or upgrade from your windows xp? I never install vista, but if you upgrade from windows xp, did it ask you to save a previous operating system file. If you so you might be able to uninstall it by trying to find in add/remove program feature.

OK. First, I suspect your using 2 ID's to post on CodeProject.

Second, this site is centric to development and the support of Microsoft Windows, not Liux. You'd probably be muchbetter off asking all of your Linux and Mac OS X questions on a linux central board.
