Also keep in mind that as VMWare and other such "virtual NIC"s (like
VPN's) exist more and more it is likely that the client PC will have
multiple IP's. So you may need to collect a set of values instead of
"one" value.

I know that makes the task more difficult, but it is really "truth"
that your after right?

From the User Tool you can do a Set Fields Action to get the host name:
   $zHostName$ (or whatever you name the field) = $PROCESS$ %COMSPEC% /c
echo %COMPUTERNAME%

For the IP you can do:

   $zLocalIP$ (or whatever you name the field) = $PROCESS$ %COMSPEC% /c
ipconfig
You will have to parse out the IP from the result

Subject: how to capture ip address of remedy client user?




Hello everyone:


In addition to the usual 'last modified by' field, I also would like to
capture the ip address or hostname of the user who last modified a record.
Anyone know a way to do that? Seems like there would be a keyword like
$HOSTNAME$ or $IP$ would do it but I don't see anything like that in the
docs. We're running ARS 7.0

thanks,



-Andrew
