windows DHCP - netsh and system() command

[bponeill]

Does anyone know why on windows server 2003 the following command doesn't work?:

system("netsh dhcp server 10.42.1.1 scope 10.42.0.0 addreservedip 10.42.1.20 121212121212");

This command returns "You must use a valid scope address." HOWEVER, if I run the exact netsh command at the command prompt it goes through perfectly.

not that this will work, but have you tried exec() instead of system()

and it could be that php doesn't have the correct permissions to do this

I tried using exec() with no luck. php has access to the command prompt so i don't see why it couldn't issue that command.
