WMI
 

Hi All,

I need a script that reports back the name of the Local
Area Connection on a Windows 2000 Server.
To clarify. In properties of "My Network Places" where
the LAN connections are displayed, the default names have
been renamed. So the first connection usually
called "Local Area Connection" has been renamed to "First
Net Connection"

In Windows 2003, the WIN32_NetworkAdapter Class has a
NETConnectionID value that returns the name however I
can't find anything similar in Windows 2000.

Can someone tell me if I'm able to do this?

Regards,
Anon.

You know, it never ceases to amaze me how willing people
are to toss away any sense of pride, intelligence,
research skills, etc. JUST to post something - anything at
all - in a newsgroup. They don't think before they type,
nor do they take two seconds to read what they typed
before submitting their idiotic posts. And people wonder
why MCSEs really don't make the six figure salaries their
IT school recruiters promised they would. This industry
just a mess.

Re: WMI
 

Eh.. ok.
Maybe I could have skipped the walk thru on the LAN
connections bit.
Put I've posted the same message in another (less
competent board) so better to make it perfectly clear.

For your info I am an MCSE had have been for years.

I've already written the portion of the script that gets
the local IP and Netmask. Does the anding to get me the
Net ID, then the XOR to get me broadcast address.
Then removes the address which aren't used for network
devices. Which if your wondering is the first and last.

My problem is that I've never done anything with WMI
before two days ago.

Also.. the comment about research... Doh.. didn't I state
that the NETConnectionID attribute is available in Win
2003. How the hell would I have found this without doing
research!


If you can't answer the question don't bother replying
moron!!!

Re: WMI
 

and it's because of senseless postings like yours that
makes you an original A$$wipe and allows no one to get a
decent answer to a question without some smartA$$
spouting drivel like yours.

Re: WMI
 

You are all a$$wipes

I copied and pasted the exact respsonse that this anonymous prick posted in
regards to anothers post called "the advent of longhorn" on 6/20/04. Check
it out you pukes. If this is the same anonymous then, I guess you can't
take your own medicine? If this isn't the same anonymous person then get a
clue and try to think for yourself, come up with a name on your own.

Re: WMI
 

So you didn't answer my question because I didn't use my
name?

My apologies for that. Although, I guess that even if I
had entered my name I still wouldn't have got a sensible
answer.

Kind Regards,
Bob.
