Identify specific vm's IP quickly from the workstation-12.5

[HarryPutnam]

How can I quickly get a vm's IP address from the console of workstation-12.5?

Having explored the menus fairly well I haven't found a way to do that short of entering the vm and getting it from the host.

Seems like the IP address should be among the info one gets by mousing over the hosts listed on the left

column under `my computer'.  When I mouse over the hosts the hostname and physical installed address on the

hosts file system pops up.

At least under VM -> Settings -> network adapter.  Let the actual IP show if there has been one established.

Any way to quickly identify the vms IP would be a welcome addition if it's not already possible.

Hi,

You can get the IP via the vmrun command.

run it like:

vmrun -T ws getGuestIPAddress "C:\Virtual Machines\YourVM\YourVM.vmx"

vmrun -T ws getGuestIPAddress "C:\Virtual Machines\YourVM\YourVM.vmx"

Thanks for that.  Works nicely.

Now if I can remember how to write a basic batchfile I'll be able to get a list whenever I like
