I have a function in powershell 2.0 named getip which gets the IP address(es) of a remote system.

function getip {
$strComputer = "computername"

$colItems = GWMI -cl "Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration" -name "root\CimV2" -comp $strComputer -filter "IpEnabled = TRUE"



ForEach ($objItem in $colItems)

{Write-Host $objItem.IpAddress}

}

The problem I'm having is with getting the output of this function to a variable. The folowing doesn't work...

$ipaddress = (getip)
$ipaddress = getip
set-variable -name ipaddress -value (getip)

any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
