I'm thinking this is an easy one, but I'm not able to find the answer. I'm trying to find a NBU command that will show me all my clients and their respective IP addresses. So, who's first? My guess is either Dave Parker or Chia Tan Beng will triumph. Of course one can never count out Bob Stump... But all forum users are welcome. Thanks!Alex,17% more point friendly than the competing brand.

check_coverage will produce three /tmp files and let you know what kind of coverage you have what os and what version of client. It will also tell you the IP address and hostname. I run it monthly. Just....grep YES /tmp/hosts_rpt.lastversionMessage was edited by: Dennis Strom

there is also bpclntcmd -hn but then you would have to use that in a script

You could use a combination of this:1: Use 'bpplclients -alluniquel -l' to dump all clients2: Parse out just the client names3: Use 'bpclntcmd -hn' to get the ip addresses and parse them out.Should be about a 5 line script.AK

1) Policy -> Summary of all policies -> Clients : highline all clients -> Save to client.txt file, 2) create scripts : bpclntcmd -hn read first line of this file, it'll give you all client IP addresses

on unix something like ..for i in `bpplclients -allunique -l | awk '{print $2}'; dobpclntcmd -hn $i | grep host | awk '{print $1 $2 $3}'doneuntested

What command will show clients and ip address

for i in `bpplclients -allunique -l | awk '{print $2}';
do
bpclntcmd -hn $i | grep host | awk '{print $1 $2 $3}'
done

Sorry to let you down Alex, but I'm on bereavement leave.

However a quick look at Nathan's answer looks encouraging.
If I were in the office then I might try testing it for him,

for i in `bpplclients -allunique -l | awk '{print $2}';
do
bpclntcmd -hn $i | grep host | awk '{print $1 $2 $3}'
done

First line is correct but third line is wrong, it should be :

bpclntcmd -hn $i | grep host | awk '{print $1,$3,$5}'

result is: host cdcaw015 155.90.47.37

or

bpclntcmd -hn $i | grep host | awk '{print $3,$5}'

result is : cdcaw015 155.90.47.37

Hi Alex,

Sorry, having some projects with tight schedule and didn't have time to login to the forums daily.

Its interesting to learn various methods posted. My opinion is Nathan method need less effort and I tried and tested that on NBU5 environment with slight modification:

#!/bin/ksh
for i in `bpplclients -allunique -l | awk '{print $2}'`;
do
bpclntcmd -hn $i | grep host | awk '{print $2 $5}'
done

No need for apologies. I just wanted to see who'd respond first. And I'm sorry to hear of your bereavement leave, Bob. Truly so...

I tried Chia's modified method and ran into a snag. I ended up getting the info out of Advanced Reporter 'Host Listing'. THank you all, though.
