I just want to re-ip my static addresses on my Macs without having to do networksetup- on every one with a unix command. Can I do it in one shot like I can with renaing the computers or changing to dhcp?
Apple Remote Desktop 3.0-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.8), change static ip ard
You could probably write a UNIX script that would pull from a list of MAC addresses for each computer and send the appropriate IP address, but unless you have a lot of computers you need to change, writing such a script may be more work than just sending the commands individually.
Of course if you change the IP address on a computer you're working with via ARD, you'll sort of be pulling the ladder out from under yourself, so the task will never report as completed. You'll need to quit it manually and re-add the systems. This may also affect running of a script for further systems; I've not tried to change IP addresses en masse so I don't know.

Thank you, I am trying to avoid going to 100+ machines to re-ip them
Understand. A shell script would be your only option, then, to the best of my knowledge.

I had to change a couple IP address by terminal command. At the time I used send unix command as root . the command I used was "ipconfig set en1 INFORM 192.168.x.x" Like dave said, you could probable package this inside a shell script to be more automated.
Can I ask why your using static IP instead of DHCP?
How do I change static IP on multiple Macs through ARD 3.0?
