So, here's my problem... I have several hundred host names which I have in an excel sheet, with the various server hardware information. I would like to resolve those host names into IP's then ping them, to include the response time, and status. I used a script I found on this site (see code snip below) to do the ping test, and I think it can provide the information I'd like to have
so what I'm looking for is This:
Column B has list of hosts
Column C IP
Column D Speed of response
Column E Status
Column F-aa (various server stats)
'Summary: Pings either a local or remote cpmputer and returns the result as a string.
' This code uses the WMI to retrieve the information. It runs on Windows 2000
' 2002, 2003, and XP.This code has not been tested on Windows Vista or later.
' The variable "Host" can be either a local or remote IP address an DNS name.

Function GetPingResult(Host)
Dim objPing As Object
Dim objStatus As Object
Dim Result As String
Set objPing = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}"). _
ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_PingStatus Where Address = '" & Host & "'")
For Each objStatus In objPing
Select Case objStatus.StatusCode
Case 0: strResult = "Connected"
Case 11001: strResult = "Buffer too small"
Case 11002: strResult = "Destination net unreachable"

Case 11050: strResult = "General failure"
Case Else: strResult = "Unknown host"
End Select
GetPingResult = strResult
Next
Set objPing = Nothing
End Function
Sub GetIPStatus()
Dim Cell As Range
Dim ipRng As Range
Dim Result As String
Dim Wks As Worksheet
Set Wks = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set ipRng = Wks.Range("B3")
Set RngEnd = Wks.Cells(Rows.Count, ipRng.Column).End(xlUp)
Set ipRng = IIf(RngEnd.Row < ipRng.Row, ipRng, Wks.Range(ipRng, RngEnd))
For Each Cell In ipRng
Result = GetPingResult(Cell)
Cell.Offset(0, 1) = Result
Next Cell
End Sub
I'm not a programmer...
