Get Current IP Address

Here is a quick way to get all IP addresses assigned to your computer:

#requires -Version 1


$ipaddress = [System.Net.DNS]::GetHostByName($null)
Foreach ($ip in $ipaddress.AddressList)
{
  $ip.IPAddressToString
}

If you replace $null with a hostname (like "server123"), you can retrieve the IP address(es) assigned to that computer instead, too.

And if you are just interested in IPv4 addresses, try this:

#requires -Version 1


$ipaddress = [System.Net.DNS]::GetHostByName($null)
foreach($ip in $ipaddress.AddressList)
{
  if ($ip.AddressFamily -eq 'InterNetwork')
  {
    $ip.IPAddressToString 
  }
}
