Has anyone ever written a script to change the IP address based on what the computer name is? I'd like to use something like this to change IPs on around 75 computers.
Question
Script to change IP address by referencing the computer name.

+24Can you elaborate on the end goal here? How is the computer name relevant to its IP? Are you actually assigning IP addresses manually/statically on your Macs instead of using DHCP?
Hi there, I'm not sure about OP however this is exactly what I would like to do.
I have an address range 172.29.40.* that has a specific rule in the firewall to allow specific ports that the Macs require
Currently I have to set these IP's manually after imaging and keep a spreadsheet of where each IP is assigned. I don't mind keeping the spreadsheet as this is always going to be necessary when bypassing DHCP but I would like to run a policy that checks the IP against the list and updates the IP address on the machine if it does not match.
Would this be possible?
