Re: Machine Name and IP Address in InfoPath Form

Thanks Matt,

I've updated the form as Full Trust as suggested and included the following code in the OnLoad function:

var shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");

var exec = shell.Exec("ipconfig /all");
WScript.StdOut.Write(exec.StdOut.ReadAll());

I'd like the IP Address to output to an expression box but do not know how to do so. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi wood and welcome to the Forum!

This sounds like it would require a Full Trust form. Once you have this, you should be able to run command line programs such as ipconfig /all that would give you the information you need. To call the command line programs you will probably need to instantiate a WScript object.

Machine Name and IP Address in InfoPath Form

I'm relatively new to InfoPath and am trying to create a form for helpdesk reporting whereby certain fields such as Machine Name and IP address would be populated when the form is opened. I'm not sure where to begin with this.
Could anyone offer assistance on this?
