I've set a script to run via a group policy at user logon which writes the
user's computername, username, date, time and logon server to a log file.
The script is below:

-----------------------------------------
echo %computername%,%username%,%date%,%time%,%logonserver% >> userlogons.log
-----------------------------------------


Can somebody tell me how to get the users's machine's IP address in there
too?

Thanks
Pete

for /f "Tokens=2 Delims=[]" %%i in ('ping -n 1 %computername%') do set IP=%%i

That's a nice short one Jerold, went as GetPing2SetIP.cmd to my toolbox.

Thank you

Guys, am I being thick? I type that into a command prompt and all it gives
me is:

%%i was unexpected at this time


What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Pete

Hi

When running from command prompt and not a batch file, you need to change %%i
to %i
 
Got it, thanks guys. Now I see that it was creating the %IP% which I could
add to the rest of the little script. It all works a treat.

Thanks Jerold

=========================================================
Either of the following 2 methods will also quickly return
a PC/User's IP Address:
--------
(1 line)
C:\WINNT\System32\IPconfig.exe | FIND /i "IP Address" >>
userlogons.log
---or---
(2 lines)
C:\WinNT\WNTIPcfg.exe /Batch C:\IPcfg.txt
TYPE C:\IPcfg.txt | FIND /i "IP Address" >> userlogons.log
 
If the user has multiple interfaces, this will return them all, not what was
asked for.

Just to mention that the exact output text of ipconfig.exe does vary
in some cases and for some lines from OS version to version. I do
not recall the particulars though. "IP Address" is suitable in W2k
at least though.
