Because the server's IP chagnes sometimes, need to know local IP address. Is there any action could receive it?

&nbsp;The only thing that comes to mind is to use the Execute Program action to run %SYSDIR%\ipconfig.exe and then set an Action output monitor to capture the first match to a variable and use a regex like : \sIPv4\sAddress.\*

&nbsp;

You would still then need to process the variable to extract the ip address, use the String Substring action, start position 37 and length 15 worked for me.&nbsp;

See attached example.
