You would have to use WMI to do this. With v7.1, we added the option to access nearly any WMI method. The methods for the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration class include some methods that should support this. You will need the Enterprise Edition as well.

Let us know what happens.

I installed WMI admin tool pack but now what?? i double click on the PC in my domain which provides me all the information but no tab allows me to change any settings. This would save me a lot of time by allowing me to change from static to dhpc on the fly remotely. please let me know and thank you so much for replying back.

Look in the Hyena help file under WMI. I don't know what the WMI tool pack is, but it has no relationship to Hyena. To access WMI features, you need to have the Enterprise Edition, which can be verified under Tools->Settings->Licensing.

If you take a computer that you want to test this on, expand it in the left window, expand the WMI object under the computer, double click the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration, select the local adapter in the right window, right click, and select Execute Method, you can see the methods available for the selected adapter. One of them will allow you to enable DHCP, etc.
