Utilities: ComputerID & IPSet

[kenedy]

ComputerID

Small utility to identify computers. You supply parameters, ComputerID compares them with current computer. Can be used for configuration tasks after OS is installed.

Requires NET Framevork 2.0 or higher to be installed and WMI related services running.

Command line options (all are optional, order is not important, not case-sensitive):

computerid.exe [mac=] [ip=] [name=] [vendor=] [model=] [mbvendor=] [mb=] [mbserial=]

mac = network adapter MAC address

ip = network adapter IP address

name = computer network name

vendor = manufacturer information from SMBIOS

model = model information from SMBIOS

mbvendor = mainboard manufacturer information from BIOS

mb = mainboard model information from BIOS

mbserial = mainboard serial number from BIOS

Example:

computerid.exe IP=10.0.1.141 Name=EDIJS-NB Vendor=IBM MB=23884SG MBSerial=1C56E44X0HV MAC=00:06:1B:C4:C3:80

If no command line options are supplied, lists identification information for current computer.

Quotation marks must be used if option contains spaces.

Example:

computerid.exe mbvendor="Intel Corporation"

Identifying result:

If current computer matches all supplied parameters - exitcode and command line output is "1". If not - "0".

ComputerID is not meant to work as standalone application, chosing how to retrieve result is up to you.

Available methods are reading exitcode, reading output, redirecting output to file, running app withot command line options and analyzing output in your own program.

IPSet

Utility for scripting IP parameters (needs more testing, lets call it beta version for now). Can be used for configuration tasks after OS is installed.

Requires NET Framevork 2.0 or higher to be installed and WMI related services running.

Features:

Setting basic IP parameters from command line

Conditional execution based on Computer name, MAC, IP, Adapter name, Subnet, Gateway, DNS match

Reading commands from file (usefull combined with conditional execution)

Full list of supported commands:

ipset.exe [save[=fullpath\filename]] [load[=fullpath\filename]]

[ifname=] [ifmac=] [ifeth=] [ifip=] [ifsub=] [ifgw=] [ifdns=]

[dhcp] [ip=] _{[dns=] [name=]}

_{file operations}

_{save[=fullpath\filename]}

_{writes IP settings for all network adapters to file}

_{(in "IFMAC= IP= sub= gw= dns=" format)}

_{ipset.txt in ipset.exe folder is used if no filename is specified}

_{load[=fullpath\filename]}

_{reads file line by line and attemts to execute each one}

_{ipset.txt in ipset.exe folder is used if no filename is specified}

_{load command does not work from file}

_{conditions to match}

_{ifname= computer network name}

_{ifmac= MAC address}

_{ifeth= network adapter name}

_{ifip= IP address}

_{ifsub= subnet mask}

_{ifgw= default gateway}

_{ifdns= DNS server address}

_{-Partial match works for ifeth. Example:}

_{ifeth="NetXtreme" will match "Broadcom NetXtreme Fast Ethernet" adapter.}

_{-ifmac, ifeth, ifip, ifsub, ifgw, ifdns must match a single adapter}

_{For example if you have 2 network adapters:}

_{1) ip=10.0.1.10 dns=10.0.1.1}

_{2) ip=10.0.1.11 dns=10.0.1.2}

_{this command will not execute since there is no unique match}

_{ipset ifip=10.0.1.10 ifdns=10.0.1.2 ip=10.0.1.20}

_{this command however, will change ip address of second adapter}

_{ipset ifip=10.0.1.11 ifdns=10.0.1.2 ip=10.0.1.20}

_{commands to execute}

_{dhcp enable dhcp}

_{ip= set IP address}

_{gw= set default gateway}

_{sub= set subnet mask}

_{dns= set DNS server address}

_{name= change computer network name}

_{dhcp also enables dhcp for DNS servers}

_{if ip= is used without specifying subnet mask, "255.255.255.0" is used}

_{you can specify multiple DNS servers by using "/" as delimiter:}

_{dns=10.0.1.2/10.0.1.3/10.0.1.4}

_other

_{can be used in interactive mode (when starting program without command line parameters)}

_{list shows IP settings for all installed network adapters}

_{select - prompts for adapter to work with}

_{exit - exit program}

_Examples:

_{ipset ifip=10.0.1.144 ip=192.168.1.144 gw=192.168.1.1 dns=192.168.1.1-if network adapter with IP 10.0.1.144 is found on system, IP settings for that adapter are changed}

_{ipset ifmac=01:00:1z:1x:1c:80 name=computer10}

_{-if network adapter with given MAC address is found on system, rename computer to "compter10"}

_{ipset ip=10.0.1.100 gw=10.0.1.1 dns=10.0.1.1}

_{-sets provided IP settings to first network adapter}
