Problem
You want to view the network configuration of a computer, including a list of all installed network adapters. Solution
Using a graphical user interface
Using a command-line interface
To view the list of connections and network configuration on the local system, run the following command: > ipconfig /all
To view this information on a remote system, use the Sysinternals psexec command: > psexec \\<ComputerName> -u administrator -p MyPass ipconfig /all Another command you can use to view network configuration information is netsh, as shown here: > netsh int ip show config Using VBScript

There are several different ways to get at the network configuration of a host, as we showed in the Solution section. And since the scripting solution used WMI, there is yet another way using wmic. Here are two commands that display some of the properties of the Win32_NetworkAdapter and Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WMI classes, respectively: > wmic nic list brief > wmic nicconfig list brief To view all available properties for those classes, replace brief with full in both commands. |
