I think you are (and origianlly, were) asking if you can run
something REMOTELY to get the IP configuration of (a lot of)
machines, especially the DNS server setting?

If so, yes you can do it but not (trivially*) with anything built-in.

Download the PSutils, especially the PSExec.exe program from
SysInternals.com. Run this PSExec and then parse the results:

psexec \\ComputerName ipconfig /all

Assuming you have a text file of all computer names then this can
work:

for /f %a in (CompNames.txt) do psexec \\%a ipconfig /all >>configs.txt

You'll still have to parse the results (Perl is ideal for this but you can
do
it with any language if you are willing to work hard enough, and maybe
even with built-in tools but getting the "computer name" AND the DNS
settints -- all of them -- together will be a lot of trouble.)

*Built-in but perhaps Non-trivial answer:
Do it from a startup batch file, sending the output to a central server
share:

set DNSfile=\\Server\Share\DNSsettings\%computername%
if not exist %DNSfile% ipconfig /all >%DNSfile%

Advantage: You don't need a list of all the computer names
Disadvantages: You have to wait for each computer to reboot
(and eventually you have to remove the batch
file)

Oh, and you still have to parse the output. (Did I mention Perl?)
