Warren Simondson from CTRL-ALT-DEL.com has released yet another free utility
(YAFU) for you to peruse:
Hi All
ENVTSCIP is a minor extension of GETTSCIP whereby it sets the client IP
address of a user session to an environment variable called CLIENTIP.
This utility was written due to the high demand in emails asking
Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy to produce this tool.
There are another 5 Utilities in the pipeline all due out soon.
As always, get the utilities from
http://www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au/CAD_Utils.htm
ENVTSCIP is a command-line tool for Terminal Servers to query the current
session's client ip address and display it in the command line, as well as
set it to a VOLATILE ENVIRONMENT
VARIABLE - %CLIENTIP%.
This utility is FREEWARE and was written by Warren Simondson of
Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy, Australia. www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au
Thankyou to the WINDOWS SDK available from http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads
Usage:
ENVTSCIP
E.G. ENVTSCIP
This command will return the client ip address of a session as:
WTSClientAddress: 192.168.0.141 and also store it as an environment
variable %CLIENTIP%
E.G. ENVTSCIP>ipaddress.txt
This command will return the client ip address of a session as:
WTSClientAddress: 192.168.0.141 and store it in the text file ipaddress.txt.
It will also store it as an environment variable %CLIENTIP%
Using ENVTSCIP in assigning an Environment Variable is best executed
from startup or the RUN section located in the registry.
This will ensure it can be used throughout an active session. For
using ENVTSCIP in logon scripts, please see ENVTSCIP.txt included in
this package.
The freeware version is offered AS IS. Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy has
made every effort possible to ensure that ENVTSCIP is free of any bugs
or errors, however in no way is ENVTSCIP to be considered error or bug
free. You assume all responsibility for any damages or lost data that
may resultfrom any errors or bugs in ENVTSCIP. IN NO EVENT WILL
CTRL-ALT-DEL IT CONSULTANCY BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF
THIS PRODUCT.
USRLOGON.CMD EXAMPLE
====================
@Echo Off
:: call the client ip utility that assigns the environment variable
call "%SystemRoot%\System32\envtscip.exe"
::Becasue this is run in usrlogon.cmd, the environment variable cannot
be broadcast to the windows shell
::thus we use the old classic Terminal Server tool ACRegL to enforce
the variable during the logon script
"%systemroot%\Application Compatibility Scripts\ACRegL.exe"
"%TEMP%\getpaths.cmd" CLIENTIP "HKCU\Volatile Environment" "CLIENTIP"
""
If Not ErrorLevel 1 Goto Cont1
Echo.
Echo Unable to retrieve path.
Echo.
Goto Finish
:Cont1
Call "%TEMP%\getpaths.cmd"
Del "%TEMP%\getpaths.cmd" >Nul: 2>&1
::The environment variable %clientip% can now be used throughout this script
::To use the environment variable %clientip% within a session run
ENVTSCIP.exe in the startup of the user's session
::or the RUN section of the registry
::just as a test echo the variable to the screen
echo %CLIENTIP%
:Finish
