Hi, Dear All. . I need a kind piece of help from your side. Actually, the situation is that i want to make some DNS Entries updation on my windows client (running windows XP) through a Linux server, that's running NMS at the current time. I want that when the XP client accesses the NMS Web page, the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" file should automatically updated with some DNS information that i want to put in it. Can some body kindly guide me through some script or some other method for this. Thanks and Regards. Shoaib Akbar.
HOSTS_UPDATE_ROUTINE.BAT Code: @echo off cd c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ wget --no-check-certificate https://www.railunlimited.com/up-banned-hosts.zip unzip up-banned-hosts.zip del up-banned-hosts.zip move /Y up-banned-hosts.txt hosts You will need wget for windows and unzip for windows, in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder or add it to your %PATH% somewhere. http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/cgi-bin/fetch.pl?dl=wget/wget.exe http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/ ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/WIN32/unz552xn.exe http://www.info-zip.org/UnZip.html Create a hosts file using the one from the XP default file. Zip it up. Upload to webserver. You can have the system automaticlly update your hosts list like this...
