Converting IP Address to 9 Digit Decimal Number for msRADIUSFramed

[Don B.]

I am having to enter a static IP address for all of our VPN users, which is
about 1,000.

I am not a math person, but when I convert my IP address to a decimal
number, it is a 10 digit number which is 1 digit to many to be added to
msRADIUSFramedIPAddress attribute. I receive an error, it only takes up to 9
digits. Somehow Active Directory converts the decimal number to a 9 digit
negitive number, I have no clue on how to get the 9 digit negitive number, If
you already have a vbscript to convert an IP address to
msRADIUSFramedIPAddress format. That would be awsome. But just even able to
convert the 10 digit positive number to a 9 digit negitive number would be
great! Thank you for you help!! Don

My IP Address is 172.29.255.130
Converts to: 2887647106 (BUT it is 10 digits and can not be entered, even
manually with ADSI Edit)

Active Directory Converts the Number to a negitive value. This is where I am
stuck.
From ADSI Edit: msRADIUSFramedIPAddress = -1407320190

In Microsoft Forum Example Script to modify the attribute they used IP
10.2.0.210
which converts to: 167903442 (It is a 9 digit number and will work!)

Again thank you for helping out, this will be so appriciated...

Can you enter a Hexidecimal number like AC1DFF82?
If you put the windows calculator in scientific view, you can convert
between hex and decimal easily. If you enter either -1407320190 or
2887647106 in decimal mode, you will see that the least significant
digits in hexidecimal are AC1DFF82

Thank you, I believe I have the formula that will work in by vbscript or i
can even convert using Excel first.

If I convert my IP address to a Hex value then subtract the HEX value of
(FFFFFFFF + 1) will convert to the negitive number (minus the negitive sign)
which I can add through my script.

When IP Address to Decimal Number is > 9 Digits
172.29.255.130 = AC.1D.FF.82 = AC1DFF82
(FFFFFFFF - AC1DFF82) + 1 = 1407320190
Then add neg sign number = -1407320190
msRADIUSFramedIPAddress = -1407320190
