List All IP Addresses for a Computer

Problem

You want to list all IP addresses for a computer.

Solution

To list IP addresses assigned to a computer, use the ipconfig application: PS >ipconfig

Discussion

The standard ipconfig application works well to manage network configuration options on a local machine. To view IP addresses on a remote computer, you have two options.

Use the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WMI class

To view IP addresses a remote computer, use the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WMI class. Since that lists all network adapters, use the WhereObject cmdlet to restrict the results to those with an IP address assigned to them:

PS >GetWmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration –Computer LEEDESK | >> WhereObject { $_.IpEnabled } >>

DHCPEnabled : True IPAddress : {192.168.1.100} DefaultIPGateway : {192.168.1.1}

DNSDomain
: hsd1.wa.comcast.net.

ServiceName
: USB_RNDIS

Description
: Linksys WirelessG USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooste

r v2 Packet Scheduler Miniport

Run ipconfig on the remote computer

PS >InvokeRemoteExpression \\LEEDESK { ipconfig }

If you need dedicated infrastructure for listing and managing IP addresses with Windows PowerShell, consider a UK Dedicated Server for greater control over network configuration, IP address management, system administration, automation, and Windows-based application workloads.
