Custom Inventory wildcard

Needing to find all machines in our environment that have a static IP address.

The information we need is contained here in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{08E64730-E8A7-48A5-9912-88BAA0ABBDE3}

 

The problem is that the last bit of the registry entry is random letters and numbers. How can I program that into the custom inventory to look in the correct folder?

The actual value name is "IPAddress"

 

Thanks.

Not sure about the wildcard, but something like this should work. You should then be able to turn this into a report.

ShellCommandTextReturn(powershell Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -filter 'ipenabled= "true"'|Select Description, IPAddress, DHCPEnabled| Format-List)

    • To clean the report up some you may want to just search for machines with DHCP not enabled.

      ShellCommandTextReturn(powershell Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -filter 'ipenabled= "true"'|where {$_.dhcpenabled -like 'False'}|Select Description, IPAddress, DHCPEnabled| Format-List) - dugullett 10 years ago
      • I need to get some more PowerShell chops.. What's a good online source for dummies / newbee's. - ekgcorp 10 years ago
      • I learned a lot here. To me it makes more sense than VB.

  • Powershell is definitely handy to have in the toolbox. - AFCUjstrick 10 years ago
  • Also note: Anything you can "Get-WmiObject" in PowerShell, you can probably query in a batch file using WMIC. Of course, in a batch file, the parsing of the results is more difficult. - snissen 10 years ago
  • You could also report on MACHINE_NICS.DHCP_ENABLED. - grayematter 10 years ago
