I've seen different way of doing things with PS and I want to learn how to get the data I need. I struggle with formatting and with data extraction. I ran this command:
Get-WmiObject -Class win32_networkadapter
It returns a ton of information that looks like this.
ServiceName : e1cexpress
MACAddress : 90:B1:1C:6B:0B:7C
AdapterType : Ethernet 802.3
DeviceID : 7
Name : Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection
NetworkAddresses :
Speed : 1000000000
ServiceName : NdisWan
MACAddress :
AdapterType :
DeviceID : 8
Name : WAN Miniport (IP)
NetworkAddresses :
Speed :
ServiceName : tunnel
MACAddress :
AdapterType : Tunnel
DeviceID : 9
Name : Microsoft ISATAP Adapter
NetworkAddresses :
Speed : 100000
How do I get "just" the MACAddress? Some of the MACAddress fields are empty and I only want the MACAddress that is populated.
Also, what is this type of data called? Meaning the PowerShell term for it. SubData but I know that is not the official name. I want to know what it's called so I can Google that and learn more.
