What I am trying to do is to save the output of a powershell command (run from a batch script) and use it in the batch script.
Can you please advise me what to do?
The power shell comand is:
[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName((hostname)).HostName
I want to use the output in the batch script.
It will be even better if I can get the full computer name/hostname/fully qualified domain name (FQDN) from cmd and not from powershell. But the full computer name is not the concatenation of the ComputerName and the UserDNSDomain variables.
for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('powershell /command "[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName((hostname)).HostName"') do set return=%%i
echo %return%
You can do this in batch using nslookup
which does the same DNS-search:
for /f "tokens=1*" %%a in ('nslookup hostname ^| findstr /i "name"') do set return=%%b
echo Hello '%return%'
