Hello,
I have a quick question.
When deploying Windows 10 via WAPT, is it possible to configure a static IP address automatically upon computer startup after installation, or do we have to manually enter the information afterward?
Thank you.

Hi Chris2b,

personally I recommend using DHCP with a reserved IP address for this. That said, if you really need to assign a static IP, you can create a WAPT package after installation that configures the IP address with netsh. If you have several machines like this, you can create a dictionary with the MAC address/IP configuration mappings. But DHCP with a reserved IP address remains the best way to do it (except for specific cases, like industrial machines and such).

Previously, did you configure the network settings directly in MDT?

Regards,

Denis

Hello,
thank you for your reply. Yes, previously we had IP addresses hardcoded into the machines, but I think I'll follow your advice and switch to DHCP with reservation.
