BillBarnard BillBarnard Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2007-03-14 Posts: 141 Loc: Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire...	We have the macros @ipaddress0, @ipaddress1, @ipaddress2 and @ipaddress3 Can we have the equivalent @address0, @address1 etc. which returns the MAC address of the appropriate network adaptor. I am finding that a Windows 7 Enterprise laptop that has a wireless adaptor, a blank string is returned with @address when the laptop is using the Ethernet network adaptor. If it uses Wireless then @address returns the MAC address of the wireless adaptor as it is supposed to. Thanks. _________________________ Bill

One that I worked on a few years ago will do this... EnumNetworkConnections() http://www.kixtart.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=139601#Post139601 How to use UDFs - http://www.kixtart.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=81943#Post81943 The rest of the UDFs are here - http://www.kixtart.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=7&page=1 Untested, but should give you an idea... Code: for each $connection in EnumNetworkConnections(1) ? "The MAC address for " + split($connection,",")[0] + " is: " + split($connection,",")[1] next

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4549 Loc: USA	Here is another example which also uses GetIPOptions() http://www.kixtart.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=159170#Post159170 Code: for each $connection in EnumNetworkConnections(1) $ConnectionName=split($connection,",")[0] $MAC=split($connection,",")[1] $IP=GetIPOptions("IPAddress",,$MAC) ? $ConnectionName ? " IP:" + $IP ? " MAC:" + $MAC ? next

Interestingly, using your above code this also returns an empty string, with GetIPOptions, when discovering the MAC address of the Wireless Adaptor. It's not empty when using EnumNetworkConnections. Example output:- Connection Name: Wireless Network Connection 2 MACAddress: 00:13:02:CA:6A:B7 Adapter Name: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection #2 Mac Address: Static Address: DHCP Enabled: IPaddress/SM: IPaddress0/SM: IPaddress1/SM: IPaddress2/SM: IPaddress3/SM: DefaultGW: DNS Servers: WINS Servers: DNSSuffix: DNS Search Order: DHCP Server: DHCP Lease Obtained: Happy Xmas, Bill _________________________ Bill

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4549 Loc: USA	I was looking over the following pdf and on page 28 there is a screenshot of the installer. One of the options is WMI Support. I'm guessing you don't have that installed. http://download.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/3945abgug.pdf

I use many wmic commands on remote systems. e.g. wmic /node:%1 computersystem get username, name, model, manufacturer wmic /node:%1 OS get Name wmic /node:%1 OS get BuildNumber, Description, Version Regards, _________________________ Bill

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4549 Loc: USA	Ha.... of course it does. But not all DEVICES have built in WMI support with default windows drivers. I forgot to paste the link for the pdf I was talking about earlier... but it is in the post now... see if that clears it up for you. Edited by Allen (2013-12-10 04:18 PM)

Oh I see what you mean, the driver may not have had its WMI components installed. The drivers for Windows 7 would have been installed from a Dell CAB file, which may or may not have had the WMI bits. I'll have to get hold of a laptop and look at it. Cheers all, _________________________ Bill

I think you are correct, the WMI wireless components are probably not install. The only laptop I've had a look at just now was a Dell Latitude E6430. This has a Dell Wireless 1504 adaptor. I don't see any additional management software installed for it. So I reckon the WMI driver support needs a closer look at in future. Thanks for your input guys. Best wishes, _________________________ Bill
