Network adapters

PowerShell Help
1

Hi, I’ve been struggling with this for about a week and I’m hoping someone one can share an example that I can build from. I’m trying to get the ip addresses of all active network adapters on a local computer and list them respectively (Wireless, VPN and Wired Connection). Thanks for any help in advance.

Something like this?

I’ve only got the one operational adapter on mine. Try this. It’s a little more elegant.
$NetAdapter = (Get-NetAdapter).where({$PSItem.Status -eq ‘Up’})
(Get-NetIPAddress).where({$PSItem.InterfaceAlias -eq $NetAdapter.InterfaceAlias})

Thanks but I cant get the Get-NetAdapter to work. The computers I work on are windows 7. Looks like that isn’t available unless I upgrade to win 8.

How about: (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration).where({$PSItem.IPAddress -ne $null})

Also, I just realized that the where method isn’t available if you’re on straight PowerShell 2, so here would be something more appropriate.

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object IPAddress -ne $null

My bad.

Thanks that definitely gets me closer. Is there a way to separate them or label them as wireless, wired, vpn?

if you add sort description on the end

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object IPAddress -ne $nul |sort description
