Reading DNS IP from Registry - How to ?

Hi there,

Hope this is the correct group for this question, apologies in advance
if not.

I need to read in the DNS addresses that are stored in the registry of
Windows 2003 Ent. I have found their location and have the API's (C++)
to access specific locations in the registry BUT ... the location of
the DNS addresses is preceeded by an interface id
e.g
..\interface\{1234-3D0342-T.......}\NameServer

The Id is my problem, how do I get to the NameServer attribute without
knowing this {1234-3D0342-T...} value?

Can I get it from querying some other location ? and if not is what I
am doing possible ?

Thanks and regards

Eoin

You might want to try the microsoft.public.vcbscript newsgroup. I think
there's a newsgroup for C# as well, but I must check. I think the folks in
the vbscript may be able to answer either way. The first thing I can think
of is as long as the default name of the connection hasn't been renamed
("Local Area Connection"), or use a standard naming policy for the
connection being used on all servers, I would imagine you can query for the
connection name instead of the attribute value. But then again, I am not a
programmer...

Having difficulty reading or finding responses to your post?
Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:
