Title: Scripting Adding computers to a list in ARD
Dear all,
Apologies for the cross-posting for those of you on both lists.
I can't figure out how to create a new computer list from the results of a task. Putting aside the parsing of the result for the moment, I think that I need to know the name of the computer to add it to the list. (Perhaps this isn’t true). The two identifying characteristics I can find are IP address and the computer’s UID number. But I can’t figure out how to get the computer name of the computer whose IP address is 192.168.1.1 (for example). I’ve tried creating a loop comparing my IP address to the IP addresses of every computer in computer list “All Computers”. I can get the IP addresses (including the one I want) fine but the “is equal to” statement never comes out true.
set myIP to "192.168.1.1"
set allcomps to the Internet address of every computer of computer list "All Computers"
repeat with thisIP in allcomps
if myIP is thisIP then
beep
end if
end repeat
Oddly enough, running “if myIP is in allcomps then...” comes out true
How to do this? Or, am I barking up the wrong tree? Is there a way to get the computer name of the computer whose Internet address is “192.168.1.1”?
Have a great weekend- I’m leaving off until Monday.
