Answer 1

Hello Helmut,

There is no AD property storing IP addresses of computers. The addresses can be added to the report only using a custom column generated by a script. To add the column:

1. Launch Adaxes Administration console.
2. In the Console Tree, expand your service node.
3. Navigate to Reports\All Reports\Computers.
4. Right-click the All Computers report and then click Edit in the context menu.
5. Activate the Columns tab.
6. In the Report-specific columns section, click Add.
7. Specify a column name and click Next.
8. In the Script field, paste the below script.

# Get computer IP address
try
{
    $dNSHostName = $Context.GetADObject().Get("dNSHostName")
    $iPAddressToString = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses($dNSHostName).IPAddressToString -join ";"
}
catch
{
    $iPAddressToString = $NULL
}

# Assign column value
$Context.Value = $iPAddressToString

9. Click Finish and then click OK.
