Update Network Interface Card parameters using WMI

The following little function can be used if you need to manually override DNS and WINS addresses on a list of remote computers, where they may have already obtained addresses from a DHCP server. The code gets a list of IP enabled NICs from a remote computer using WMI, you can list the servers in servers.txt file in the same folder. The script updates your DNS servers search list to add two manual entries and also adds two manual WINS servers. I had some fun the SetWINSServer method as it only accepts the variable as an array. Finally, the script modifies the registry, to create a DNS suffix search list. Although this script only modifies limited parameters, it can easilly be adapted to update any of the other parameters.
function updateNIC {
$NICs = gwmi -computer $server Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | where{$_.IPEnabled -eq “TRUE”}

foreach ($NIC in $NICs) {

$DNS=("1.1.1.1","2.2.2.2")
$WINS=@("1.1.1.1","2.2.2.2")
$DOMAIN="acme.com"

$NIC.SetDNSServerSearchOrder($DNS)
$NIC.SetDynamicDNSRegistration("TRUE")
$NIC.SetWINSServer($WINS[0],$WINS[1])
$NIC.SetDNSDomain($DOMAIN)

$baseKey = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('LocalMachine', $server)
$baseKey.OpenSubKey
$subKey=$baseKey.OpenSubKey("SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters",$true)
$subkey.SetValue('SearchList','acme.local,acme.com')

}
}
foreach($server in (gc .servers.txt)){
updateNIC
}
Here are some images of the results of the Advanced TCP/IP Settings page after running the script. Here is the WINS tab.
