I presume you have tried and are getting an error. Since you haven't
chosen to show the results of your attempt(s), one is left to guess at
the issue. A common problem is a failure to process the response
appropriately. In this case, the variable type of the IP Address
property of the collection provided by the query is a Variant array,
with just one item in it. This can be inferred from examples in the
Technet Script Center examples and/or determined using VBSs TypeName()
method. The latter is a technique I often use to troubleshoot a
script like this. In this case, it also came in handy to strip out
unwanted information from my simple general query ...
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root
\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")
For Each objItem in colItems
if typename(objItem.IPAddress) <> "Null" then
if objItem.IPAddress(0) <> "0.0.0.0" Then
sIPAddress = objItem.IPAddress(0)
Wscript.Echo "IP Address: " & sIPAddress
end if
end if
Next
Note that this will return the LAST non-zero IP address. So, if there
is a prossibility for two or more network connections to be in place,
this simple approach will need to be modified.
