PS C:> get-wmiobject -computername (get-content c:\temp\ncc.csv) win32_networkadapterconfiguration | where-object {$.Ipaddress}

DHCPEnabled : False
IPAddress : {10.35.1.51}
DefaultIPGateway : {10.35.1.1}
DNSDomain :
ServiceName : VMXNET

Get-WMIObject doesn’t display all its properties by default. Use this to find the candidate properties for you to specifiy:
get-wmiobject -computername (get-content c:\temp\ncc.csv | Select-Object -First 1) win32_networkadapterconfiguration |
where-object {$.Ipaddress} | Select-Object -First 1 | Get-Member -MemberType *property | Where-Object {$.Name -match "name"}

This returns two potentials that might solve your problem: PSComputerName and DNSHostName. Remove the Where-Object clause to see all the available properties.

what does Select-Object -First 1 do? I want to use DNSHostname How would i apply that to the script above?

Select-Object -First 1 gets the first object from an array:


PS C:\Windows\system32> get-help select-object -Parameter First

-First <int>
Specifies the number of objects to select from the beginning of an array of input objects.

Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false


Essentially it is being used to grab one copy of the items returned so you can see what properties it has.

I’d break the task into two parts, first collecting the data unmodified, and then doing something with it. Here’s an example:
$Data = get-wmiobject -computername (get-content c:\temp\ncc.csv) win32_networkadapterconfiguration | where-object {$.Ipaddress}
$Data | Select DNSHostname,@{Name='IPAddresses';Expression={$_.IPAddress -join "n&quot;}},ServiceName,Description</code></blockquote>by coderaven at 2013-02-28 12:47:33<blockquote>First, you just want the adapters that have IPEnabled and you only want to send those over the network. To speed things up, use the -ThrottleLimit switch<br><br><code>Get-WMIObject -ComputerName &#40;get-content c:\temp\ncc.csv&#41; -Query &quot;Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled = True&quot; | Select DNSHostname,@{Name=&#39;IPAddresses&#39;;Expression={$_.IPAddress -join &quot;n"}},ServiceName,Description

Is that what you are looking for?
