PowerShell Tips : Getting DNS IP from Name using PowerShell.

 

We all love PoweShell. The one of this AWESOME feature it , it's lovely integration with .Net.

If you are looking for a single line of code to convert a hostname to IP. You can use the

[System.Net.DNS]::GetHostByName()

 

Just provide the name in parantheses and get the IP information about the host.

 

[System.Net.DNS]::GetHostByName("www.yahoo.com")

 

 

Try it and see it's magic. ;o) 

With Regards.
