By creating a batch file of Netsh commands you can automate the creation of DHCP scopes.
By creating a batch file of Netsh commands you can automate the creation of DHCP scopes. For example, the following batch file creates a scope 172.16.11.0 with address range .220 through .250, exclusion range .225 through .230, excluded single address .244, reserved address .133, and default gateway .1 on DHCP server 172.16.11.30:
