Need to run a quick DNS pull for a list of hosts, VM, vmotion IPs?
Run this, it takes seconds to pull 50+ dns items into a list that you can dump into Excel, csv, etc.
$myDNS = @()
$myDNS += [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses(“host1.pcli.me”) | %{$_.IPAddressToString}
$myDNS += [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses(“host2.pcli.me”) | %{$_.IPAddressToString}
$myDNS += [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses(“host3.pcli.me”) | %{$_.IPAddressToString}
$myDNS += [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses(“hostX.pcli.me”) | %{$_.IPAddressToString}
$myDNS
OR you can reformat it with a loop + Var if you like using arrays for your host list
$hostname = @()
$hostname += “host1.pcli.me”
$hostname += “host2.pcli.me”
$hostname += “host3.pcli.me”
$hostname += “hostX.pcli.me”
$myDNS = @()
Foreach($singleHost in $Hostname){
$myDNS += [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses(“$singlehost”) | %{$_.IPAddressToString}
}
$myDNS
