WMI Query to retrieve only active IPv4 address

Question

My turn to ask a question. I am running BGInfo for all workstations but at this stage want to only return the Active IPv4 address. I have a custom WMI query set up in BGInfo:
SELECT IPAddress FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WHERE IPEnabled = 'True'
This will return both IPv4 and v6 addresses. Without disabling IPv6 on my client workstations, is there a way I can get the query to return only the IPv4 address? Or should I instead create a custom vbscript in BGInfo to get the v4 address.
Cheers
Jeremy

You'd need to nose through the results and reject any IPv6 addresses.
This sample assumes IPv6 addresses always contain a ":" in the
string...
strMsg = ""
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer &
"\root\cimv2")
Set IPConfigSet = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select IPAddress from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WHERE
IPEnabled = 'True'")
For Each IPConfig in IPConfigSet
If Not IsNull(IPConfig.IPAddress) Then
For i = LBound(IPConfig.IPAddress) to
UBound(IPConfig.IPAddress)
If Not Instr(IPConfig.IPAddress(i), ":") > 0 Then
strMsg = strMsg & IPConfig.IPAddress(i) & vbcrlf
Next
End If
Next
Wscript.Echo strMsg
