Powershell - NetworkInfos - Expanded Properties Filter

With powershell at the end I'd like to have a value like
Adapter, IPv4Address, MAC Address

I've got know the idea to get that with:

Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $Computer Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration

Open in new window

Wich will give me multiple unneeded adapters. So I'd like to filter these on the ones which have at least one addresses.

Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $Computer Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object { $_.IPAddress -ne $null }

Open in new window

And now I've got it mostly correct but I have entries like that:

DHCPEnabled      : True
IPAddress        : {169.254.19.108, fe80::30e7:9436:7ca:136c}
DefaultIPGateway : 
DNSDomain        : 
ServiceName      : VMSMP
Description      : Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter
Index            : 5

DHCPEnabled      : True
IPAddress        : {11.11.11.11, fe80::4889:c466:5428:5068}
DefaultIPGateway : {11.11.11.3}
DNSDomain        : company.cc
ServiceName      : VMSMP
Description      : Hyper-V-Adapter - virtuelles Ethernet #2
Index            : 6

Open in new window

So I'd like to filter the unwanted 169 configured adapter. Because with this way I think I'm able to find and list all valid configured adapters (LAN, Wifi, USB Connected Adapter) in different networks 11.11.11.0/24 or 192.168.0.0/24:

Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $Computer Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object { $_.IPAddress -notlike "*169.254*" }

Open in new window

But this doesn't work, because notlike seems not working on an array.

This might work for you:

Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $computer -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.IPAddress -notlike "*169.254*" -and $_.IPAddress -ne $null}

nope.. sorry... forgot to mention
Exactly the filter

$_.IPAddress -notlike "*169.254*"

Open in new window

does not filter, because its in array.

so your powershell

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $computer -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.IPAddress -notlike "*169.254*" -and $_.IPAddress -ne $null}


DHCPEnabled      : True
IPAddress        : {169.254.19.108, fe80::30e7:9436:7ca:136c}
DefaultIPGateway : 
DNSDomain        : 
ServiceName      : VMSMP
Description      : Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter
Index            : 5

DHCPEnabled      : True
IPAddress        : {11.11.11.11, fe80::4889:c466:5428:5068}
DefaultIPGateway : {11.11.11.3}
DNSDomain        : company.cc
ServiceName      : VMSMP
Description      : Hyper-V-Adapter - virtuelles Ethernet #2
Index            : 6

You can nest Where-Object statements. It's a bit mucky, but it gives you the wildcard comparison on the array content.

Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $computer -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Filter "IPEnabled='TRUE'" | Where-Object {
    $_.IPAddress | Where-Object { $_ -notlike "*169.254*" }
}

Open in new window

The filter I've added should take care of interfaces which have no IP addresses.

this seems not working for me..

at the moment I'll try with that:

Get-WmiObject -ComputerName localhost -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object { $_.IPAddress -ne $null -and $_.IPAddress[0] -notlike "*169*" }

Open in new window
