You're welcome :) Now it's clear for me :) [...]Running with elevated rights gives the same result.[...] Are you using Win7/2008R2 for that? If so, you need to specify witch IP protocol interest you, IPv4 or IPv6 So, proper syntax should be netsh -r remotecomputer interface ipv4 show addresses Hope, it helps you.Regards, Krzysztof ---- Visit my blog at http://kpytko.wordpress.com

Try this out netsh -r remote interface ip show config

1. What account do you use? Domain administrator will be fine. 2. If it is not on the same subnet, then there may be problem with ports. Use TCPview (Sysinternals) to view, if the packets go through the active network devices ( firewalls, routers,... include the local FW at both servers) 3. Use netsh with elevated rights.

Hi, small mistype in your syntax :) netsh -r remotecomputer interface ip show addresses instead of "ip show addresses" use "ip show address" to get it working so, it should look like netsh -r remotecomputer interface ip show address Now, it should work for you Regards, Krzysztof ---- Visit my blog at http://kpytko.wordpress.com

That makes sense. I wish the documentation on Netsh was more complete. Thanks!

Still getting the same result. I can do what I need with PSExec, or something, it would just be easier to maintain if I could do it natively. I wish I had time time to figure it out.

Thanks Krzysztof, but I stll get the same result, command not found. "show addresses" does work locally, btw. Connectivity, permissions, etc seem fine. I can browse the admin share, etc. Running with elevated rights gives the same result.

I'm trying to use netsh to modify static IP addresses on a remote server. When I try: netsh -r remotecomputer interface ip show addresses I get: "The following command was not found: interface ip show addresses." but I get data if I try: netsh -r remotecomputer interface ip show global When I try: netsh -r remotecomputer interface ip add address "Local Area Connection" xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.0 it adds the address to my local computer, not the remote. Deleting the address also only works locally. I feel like I'm missing something really simple here. Can anybody help? [edit] Both servers are 2008 R2.

Try using this to view the IP Address show interface ip addr http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490943.aspx

I still get "The following command was not found"

One more thing, after: netsh -r remotecomputer interface ip show I get the following - a short list compared to running it locally: The following commands are available: Commands in this context: show compartments - Shows compartment parameters. show dynamicportrange - Shows dynamic port range configuration parameters. show global - Shows global configuration parameters. show interfaces - Shows interface parameters. show subinterfaces - Shows subinterface parameters.

OK, I figured it out :) There is no address/addresses context for netsh on remote machine (XP/2003/7/2008/2008R2). Please check these steps to find out what you can request with show on remote machine Open command-line 1) netsh -r RemoteMachineName [enter] 2) interface [enter] 3) ip [enter] 4) show [enter] yes, for that you need to use ipaddress/ipaddresses on Windows XP/2003 netsh utility unfortunately, for Win 7/2008/2008R2 many of those contexts are unavailable. Check that by your self going through all these steps above. You will see that netsh tool is limited for remote management from 7/2008/2008R2 For that I would suggest to use WinRM and PowerShell or run it from XP/2003 version of netsh tool Regards, Krzysztof ---- Visit my blog at http://kpytko.wordpress.com
