Query IP Addresses from DHCP

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have an SBS03 Server and I would like to be able to look up the IP address
from an Computer Name. The application is a script to turn on a group of
computers every morning. These are workstations in the exam rooms of a
doctor's office. The staff is always forgetting to turn all of them on in
the morning and the doctor then has to wait for the computer to boot while
the patient is sitting there. It would also fit well for turning them on
early and letting them load their updates before business hours.

My concern is if their lease runs out and DHCP issues them a new IP, then
the WOL magic packet will end up at the wrong computer.

Thanks,
Bernie
