There are a number of different ways to do this.
On Novell's CoolSolutions website (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/)
they've described a number of ways of accomplishing htis.

Here's an addition for your 'From the trenches' on converting workstations to DHCP. This VBS
script will work on Win95/98 workstations. You must install the Windows Scripting Host (available
from Microsoft) on the Win95 platform to use it though. WSH comes with Win98.
This is a modified version of a script Microsoft has in their support pages. In addition to
converting to DHCP, this script will disable DNS, switch the WINS button to "Use DHCP for WINS
resolution", and delete any gateways the user may have entered.
Dim WSHShell, NList, N, IPAddress, IPMask, IPValue, RegLoc1, RegLoc2, NodeType
Dim Domain, EnableDNS, HostName, NameServer, SearchList, NameServer1, Default Gateway
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
NList = array("0000","0001","0002","0003","0004","0005","0006", _ "0007","0008","0009","0010")
On Error Resume Next
RegLoc1 = "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans\"
For Each N In NList
IPValue = "" 'Resets variable
IPAddress = RegLoc1 & N & "\IPAddress"
IPMask = RegLoc1 & N & "\IPMask"
NodeType = RegLoc1 & N & "\NodeType"
NameServer1 = RegLoc1 & N & "\NameServer1"
DefaultGateway = RegLoc1 & N & "\DefaultGateway"
IPValue = WSHShell.RegRead(IPAddress)
If (IPValue <> "") and (IPValue <> "0.0.0.0") then
WSHShell.RegWrite IPAddress,"0.0.0.0"
WSHShell.RegWrite IPMASK,"0.0.0.0"
end If
WSHShell.RegDelete NodeType
WSHShell.RegDelete NameServer1
WSHShell.RegDelete DefaultGateway
Next
RegLoc2 = "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP\"
Domain = RegLoc2 & "\Domain"
EnableDNS = RegLoc2 & "\EnableDNS"
HostName = RegLoc2 & "\HostName"
NameServer = RegLoc2 & "\NameServer"
SearchList = RegLoc2 & "\SearchList"
WSHShell.RegDelete Domain
WSHShell.RegDelete HostName
WSHShell.RegDelete NameServer
WSHShell.RegDelete SearchList
WSHShell.RegWrite EnableDNS,"0"
WSHShell.Popup "Your internet settings have been updated. Please reboot."
WScript.Quit ' Tells the script to stop and exit.
You can go to the following page for some tips on how to do it on NT
systems (and I assume Win2k and XP as well).

For the previous two years, we have had an in-house programmer develop an
application to auto configure Win9X to use DHCP. It would make sure the
computers used DHCP, and remove any DNS, WINS, and gateway information that
was place in there, in addition to providing a unique hostname.
Shortly after we lost the services of this programmer, Win2000, and now XP
have hit the market.
Would anyone know where we could either
Obtain a freeware application to make these changes.
Obtain source code to an application that will make these changes.
It would have to be able to handle 2000 and XP. If it could also handle
95/98/ME/NT4.0 that would be great, but not necessary.
We already have an installer program that can trip the program off as part
of a self running CD, but the actual configuration changes we do not have.
Thanks in advance.
