I have been struggling for a week trying to get this to work. I need some help on how to do this looping correctly. I want to get all the properties listed for each adapter if possible. Here is the code I am trying to work with.
#Network Configuration Start
$Networks = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -ComputerName $Computer | ? {$_.IPEnabled}
foreach ($network in $networks) {
$AdapterDesc = $Network.Description
$IPAddress = $Network.IpAddress
$SubnetMask = $Network.IPSubnet
$DefaultGateway = $Network.DefaultIPGateway
$DNSServers = $Network.DNSServerSearchOrder
$DNSDomain = $Network.DNSDomain
$DNSSuffix = $Network.DNSDomainSuffixSearchOrder
$FullDNSREG = $Network.FullDNSRegistrationEnabled
$WINSLMHOST = $Network.WINSEnableLMHostsLookup
$WINSPRI = $Network.WINSPrimaryServer
$WINSSEC = $Network.WINSSecondaryServer
$DOMAINDNSREG = $Network.DomainDNSRegistrationEnabled
$DNSEnabledWINS = $Network.DNSEnabledForWINSResolution
$TCPNETBIOSOPTION = $Network.TcpipNetbiosOptions
$IsDHCPEnabled = $false
If($network.DHCPEnabled) {
$IsDHCPEnabled = $true
}
}
$Networkprops = Get-NetAdapter -Name * -CimSession $computer
foreach ($Networkprop in $Networkprops) {
$AdapterName = $networkprop.name
$Status = $networkprop.status
$LinkSpeed = $networkprop.linkspeed
$Driverinformation = $networkprop.driverinformation
$MACAddress = $Network.MACAddress
}
$OutputObj = New-Object -Type PSObject

What problems are you experiencing?
Hey there Chris,
Give the PSCustomObject a whirl. You can loop everything through per computer, order it the way you want, and it’s a little cleaner to read.
$ComputerName = “server01”,“server03”
ForEach($Computer in $ComputerName){#EndPSCustomObject
}#EndForEach
What I am trying to accomplish is to getting the settings to display per an adapter instead of everything in one group.
Ah. I see it now. Interesting challenge.
How does this work for you? EDIT Nevermind. Found a bug. I’ll have it fixed in a few.
$ComputerName = “server01”
ForEach($Computer in $ComputerName){
ForEach($NetAdapter in $Networks){
$Networkprops = (Get-NetAdapter -CimSession $NetAdapter.PSComputerName).where({$PSItem.MACAddress -eq $NetAdapter.MACAddress})
[PSCustomObject]@{
Description = $NetAdapter.Description
IPAddress = $NetAdapter.IPAddress
SubnetMask = $NetAdapter.IPSubnet
DefaultGateway = $NetAdapter.DefaultIPGateway
DNSServers = $NetAdapter.DNSServerSearchOrder
DNSDomain = $NetAdapter.DNSDomain
DNSSuffix = $NetAdapter.DNSDomainSuffixSearchOrder
FullDNSREG = $NetAdapter.FullDNSRegistrationEnabled
WINSLMHOST = $NetAdapter.WINSEnableLMHostsLookup
WINSPRI = $NetAdapter.WINSPrimaryServer
WINSSEC = $NetAdapter.WINSSecondaryServer
DOMAINDNSREG = $NetAdapter.DomainDNSRegistrationEnabled
DNSEnabledWINS = $NetAdapter.DNSEnabledForWINSResolution
TCPNETBIOSOPTION = $NetAdapter.TcpipNetbiosOptions
IsDHCPEnabled = $NetAdapter.DHCPEnabled
AdapterName = $networkprops.name
Status = $networkprops.status
LinkSpeed = $networkprops.linkspeed
Driverinformation = $networkprops.driverinformation
MACAddress = $NetAdapter.MACAddress
}#ENDPSCustomObject
}#EndNetForEach
}#EndCompForEach
OK. I’ve got this working now. Tell me what you think?
$ComputerName = “server01”
ForEach($Computer in $ComputerName){
ForEach($NetAdapter in $Networks){
$NetMAC = $NetAdapter.MACAddress -replace ":","-"
$Networkprops = Get-NetAdapter -CimSession $Networks.PSComputerName | Where-Object MACAddress -EQ $NetMAC
[PSCustomObject]@{
System = $NetAdapter.PSComputerName
Description = $NetAdapter.Description
IPAddress = $NetAdapter.IPAddress
SubnetMask = $NetAdapter.IPSubnet
DefaultGateway = $NetAdapter.DefaultIPGateway
DNSServers = $NetAdapter.DNSServerSearchOrder
DNSDomain = $NetAdapter.DNSDomain
DNSSuffix = $NetAdapter.DNSDomainSuffixSearchOrder
FullDNSREG = $NetAdapter.FullDNSRegistrationEnabled
WINSLMHOST = $NetAdapter.WINSEnableLMHostsLookup
WINSPRI = $NetAdapter.WINSPrimaryServer

}#EndCompForEach
The original script works for me on Windows 8. Can you post a screenshot of the error you’re getting?
The script is getting close. I am seeing information separated out into each adapter but the get-netadapter properties are only displaying on the first adapter.
AdapterName : {Ethernet, Ethernet}
System : TestSystemtest.com }
System : TESTSystemtest.com }
I’m seeing that with the Microsoft Failover Cluster Virtual Adapter as well. Do you have anything with multiple standalone adapters? I wonder if it’s something to do with how that one is presented.
Will, I fired up a VM and it seems to be working great with that. I am not sure what’s up with the Cluster Adapter. Here are the results. Another weird thing is the entries show up twice for the get-netadapter properties
System : W811
System : W811#2
Will
Thank you for all your help on this. I was able to resolve the duplicate information by adding the | Select-Object -First 1 to the end of $networkprops. I am not sure its the cleanest way but it works. Here is the code and results.
CODE
$ComputerName = “w811”
ForEach($Computer in $ComputerName){
ForEach($NetAdapter in $Networks){#ENDPSCustomObject #EndNetForEach #EndCompForEach
RESULTS
System : W811
System : W811#2
Looks like the Failover Cluster Adapter doesn’t appear in the Get-NetAdapter tables for some reason. I’d have to dig into the cmdlet to see where it’s pulling it’s data from, but wherever it is, the Failover Cluster Adapter isn’t there. I’ll keep plugging away at the duplicate info issue. I’d actually like to have something like this to give to my admins.:

EDIT: Looks like the duplicate info is due to the team being discovered as a single adapter, but the individual device information is loaded as multiple properties in that space.
Would it be possible to write the script results to a variable?
Hey there Chris,
Let me play with my function for a bit and I’ll let you know!
So I’ll answer the best way that I can, and maybe ask some of our other community people for their input. The short answer is yes.
If you build out the script as a function (I’m actually putting the finishing touches on mine for a blog post about PSCustomObjects), then you can call the function as a variable. For example:
$NetAdapter = Get-AdapterConfig -Computername Server01
Then if you call the NetAdapter variable, it will give you the output. You can use the NetAdapter variable in the pipeline as you see fit. For example:
Test-Connection $NetAdapter.System
This will give you a return similar to mine:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Test-Connection $NetAdapter.ComputerName
Source Destination IPV4Address IPV6Address Bytes Time(ms)
MYSYSTEM01 SERVER01 10.54.47.30 32 2
However, if you’re looking to do something like:
Get-AdapterConfig -computername server01 | Write-Object $NetAdapter
You’ll get an error like this:
Write-Output : The input object cannot be bound to any parameters for the command either because the command does not take pipeline input or the input
This is something that I would kind of expect, as it would essentially be looping back on itself. But that’s where I get a little lost.

Hey guys,
Jumping in for the last part. Write-Output simply displays the content of a variable or sends it on down to the next cmdlet, not setting any values
You’d use Set-Variable instead (although I would stay away from this approach, people very rarely set a variable at the end of a command line, normally setting the value at the start of the line).
