Question

How to grab IP address and MAC address using existing VB Script

Asked by: UDDevHelp

The code below will allow me to grab the serial, express and model number from a computer and email the results. I am having a heck of time figuring out how to grab the IP Address and Mac Address though.

I don't know ANY VB, so, any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Here is a script that will give you the MAC, Host name, IP, Subnet, Default Gateway, as you would get from ipconfig in Command Prompt.

If you don't need to the other info, just the MAC and IP, you can easily edit this script to just give you those.

Hope it helps! :o)

This works and I appreciate you posting the code. But, I need help implementing code to grab the IP and MAC address with my existing script.

OK, I have just simply added the snippet I previously posted into your script.

Check if this works, i.e. pulls the IP and MAC and we can then look at tidying the script up. Just check if it works first.

Hum... Have you heard about OCSInventory-NG ?

You really should consider it.

Just deploying this agent you will get all the information you could dream of on all computers.

Thanks for posting the link, I corrected it above.

BUT, this script it near completion. Just need to grab the IP V4 address instead of the IP V6

 

by: UDDevHelpPosted on 2009-05-11 at 12:47:58ID: 24358313

It's funny, the first script sal-ee posted grabs the IP V4 Address and the IP V 6 address.....but, in the script that where sal-ee integrated his script with mine, it only grabs IP V6 address

Any ideas?

In your first script, it seems as though it loops through all the Network Adapters. But, the second integrated one only gets IP V6  info...

 

by: UDDevHelpPosted on 2009-05-19 at 09:11:21ID: 24423627

Anyone have any ideas? This script will do everything I need it to do, but, it only grabs IPV6 addresses and not the IPV4 address...

Got it! A co-worker helped me figure it out!

This code is helpful for anyone who needs to take inventory of computers and users. It will grab the model number, serial number, express code, Mac Address and IP Address. Then, it will email the results to you.

Written in Visual Basic. Save file as "something.vbs"
