I'm trying to create a web app. (using ASP and VBScript) that will allow my co-workers to enter a customers pc MAC address into this web app once clicking on the submit button, it needs to talk to our DHCP server and obtain an IP Address that is available. Wondering if this is possible using VBScript and if so, hwo would I go about doin this. I've been looking into the netsh command, but that doesn't seem to allow be to grab an available IP (I know I can do an "add reservedip" using the netsh, but I need to be able to find the IP Address first).

Is there a way I can do a DHCPDiscover, DHCPOffer, and then possibly reject the DHCPOffer after "collecting" the IP Address that the DHCP server is ready to hand out?

Thanks,
Kathi
