The IP Information utility can be used to do all of the following on Windows XP/Vista/Win7/200x operating systems.
1) Retrieve IPConfig type configuration information from local and remote computers.
a. The user must the appropriate permissions on the local or remote computers.
b. Administrator rights are recommended.
2) Retrieve other more specific configuration information not shown by IPConfig.
a. Examples include the following
i. TCPIP Netbios Options
ii. TCPIP MTU
iii. TCP Window Size
iv. TCP 1323 Opts
v. TCP Sack Opts
vi. Scalable Networking Options
vii. Many others additional settings are available as well.
3) Can retrieve IP configuration information from a list of computers.
a. This is a great way to check for consistent settings across multiple computers easily.
Requirements and Limitations
1) Permissions required
a. Local Administrators permissions are usually required.
2) WMI is used to collect the IP information.
a. WMI permissions will be required.
b. Cimv2 and StdRegProv WIM providers are used.
c. Non-responsive and unavailable computers will take 2-3 minutes for the connection to fail. This is a limitation of WMI.
3) Windows 2000 and earlier (NT4 with WMI installed) may display their information slightly differently.
4) VB6 Runtime may be required on Windows 2000 or earlier OS.
Syntax:
IPInfo [/c=computer | /i=filename]
Purpose: To display active Network Adapter Configuration Information.
Specify either an individual computer or a file containing multiple computers.
Options:
/c=computer A computer name or ip address
/i=filename A file of multiple computers or ip addresses.
If neither /c or /i is specified then the local computer is assumed.
Exmamples:
IPInfo
IPInfo /c=server1
IPInfo /i=Servers.txt
