I am trying to find a way that I can perform a command-line query or something along that line to see what kind of IP address a computer is assigned. I have large lists of IP addresses and computer names (each list is about 100 computers) and I need to know if they have a dynamic, reserved, or static IP address. Is there a quick down-and-dirty way to find out?

ipconfig /all Far as I know has to be done locally. If your not running dhcp, the ip's are assigned. If your are then probably get them when you boot up. Glen A. Johnson

I understand that and ipconfig /all will give you local information, but that will only work for the PC you are currently logged into, and it will only tell you if you have a static or DHCP address. I need more specific information, and for all the PC's in my list. I need to know if the IP is static, *reserved*, or DHCP generated. An ipconfig /all will not work for this, because a reserved address and a DCHP address from a general scope appear the same in the ipconfig screen.
