Hello,

iam new here, and iam new to powershell :)

this is my first try:

I want to ping some Ip's or Host's from a textfile

 

Get-Content C:\Ping2.txt | Ping-Host -Timeout 1 -Count 1 -BufferSize 1 | Format-Table | Out-File C:\Test.txt

with this script, it looks like this:

 

Host                                                                                            Loss  Sent  Received AverageTime
----                                                                                                ----  ----  -------- -----------
abc.xxx.xxx.de                                                                             0 %   1     1        1ms      

 

but I also need the IP :

 

Host                         IP                                                                Loss  Sent  Received AverageTime
----                            ----                                                                    ----  ----  -------- -----------
abc.xxx.xxx.de                                                                             0 %   1     1        1ms       

 

but all my trys wont work :(

can you guys help me?

While a tad convoluted. You can use calculated properties for this.

Effectively this uses system.Net.Dns to resolve the HostName to IP and vise-versa so you can have both IPs and Hostnames and as long as DNS is setup you should end up with your goal.

 

@Selgald,  If you haven't figured it out already Ping-Host is a cmdlet in the PowerShell Community Extensions PSSnapin.

@bsonposh, I'm green with envy... It took me years to get to know my way around WMI.  Now I'm a noob with all these .net classes. You sir are my idol of the week.
