IP Display in Command Prompt (*.BAT)
For users that cant find the IP!! Add this bat file to the system32 folder, this allows users to simple run the file by “start -> run -> ip”
“ip.bat”
@echo off
:: Quick IP – Simply displays local IP address using “run -> ip”

ipconfig
pause
To automatically add the above file to the system32 during startup create another *.bat file and use this code. Remember for Windows7 they will need admin privileges to access the system32 folder.
“Loginscript.bat”
XCOPY **ServerDomain***NETLOGONLogon_Softwareip.bat %systemroot%system32 /y /i
