How do I determine all the IP addresses present in my network?
I have a solution, maybe not the BEST solution, but it would work. First, you'd have to get all the computers on the network:
Part 2, getting the IP addresses, I'll send in a few moments...Code:
Public Function GetComputersInADomain(aryUsers() As String) As Long
'Notes: Requires a global array to be pased in if list of users wanted
'Notes: Very slow if domain name not valid
'Notes: Must set reference to Active DS Type Library for this to work
Dim TheDomain As IADsDomain
Dim Computer As IADsComputer
Dim strDomain As String
Dim x As Long
'Accept the Domain name
strDomain = InputBox("Domain Name: ")
'Use the WinNT Directory Services
strDomain = "WinNT://" & strDomain
'Create the Domain object
Set TheDomain = GetObject(strDomain)
'Search for Computers in the Domain
TheDomain.Filter = Array("Computer")
'Enumerate each computer in the domain
For Each Computer In TheDomain
x = x + 1
ReDim Preserve aryUsers(x)
aryUsers(x) = Computer.Name
Next Computer
'Clean up
GetComputersInADomain = x
Set Computer = Nothing
Set TheDomain = Nothing
End Function
Once you do part 1, you will have a list of all the names in the domain. Pass each one of them into this bit of code, and it will return the IP address. The way this is written, it will only return one IP address at a time, but you could modify it to loop through all the computer names.
Code:This will return the IP Address of another computer if you give the hostname.
