Answer by vcsjones for Resolving IP Address from hostname with PowerShell

If you want to get the IP address so you can work with the address, you can do this:

$ips = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses("yourhosthere")  

You can iterate over them like so:

[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses("yourhosthere") | foreach {echo $_.IPAddressToString }  

A server may have more than one IP, so this will return an array of IPs.

I would use the solution vcsjones commented, but since the result of his solution when used on a hostname which has multiple IP addresses would be an array of IPs, this would cause problems with further ping/tracert.

The solution I use is the following:

$ping = New-Object System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping  $ips = $($ping.Send("yourhosthere").Address).IPAddressToString  

This would display a single IP string (in the $ips variable), resolved from a single ICMP reply, preventing an array of IPs for hostnames with multiple IPs.

If you know part of the subnet (i.e. 10.3 in this example), then this will grab any addresses that are in the given subnet:

PS C:\> [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses("MyPC") | foreach { $_.IPAddressToString | findstr "10.3."}

The simplest way:

ping hostname  

e.g.

ping dynlab938.meng.auth.gr  

it will print: Pinging dynlab938.meng.auth.gr [155.207.29.38] with 32 bytes of data

this is nice and simple and gets all the nodes.

$ip = Resolve-DNSName google.com  $ip  

also try inputting an ip instead of a domain name and check out those results too!

Working one liner if you want a single result from the collection:
