PowerShell script to get NIC card type

Recently we came across a issue with a set version of NICs on our network. SCCM gave us a overview of machines that needed some settings changes. This script came in handy to query specific machines.

Param($computer)

if($computer){
 Write-Host -foregroundcolor green "Network connections for $computer"
 Get-WmiObject win32_networkadapter -computerName $computer -filter "NetConnectionStatus = 2" | Format-Table Name, NetEnabled, DeviceId -auto
}
else{
 Write-Host -foregroundcolor green "Network connections this machine"
 Get-WmiObject win32_networkadapter -computerName localhost -filter "NetConnectionStatus = 2" | Format-Table Name, NetEnabled, DeviceId -auto
}

New Job

After 4 years of working in broadcast support I have decided to have a change in career direction. I have transferred within BBG and I am now working in the Information Systems department in the apps team.

I am hoping that this will give me a more generic computer background which I can build upon. Projects I will be working on include rolling windows 7 out to over 4000 machines and SCCM admin and configuration.

I have a feeling it’s going to be a busy rest of the year.
