I need to display connected Ethernet name.
I used the following command to get WLAN connected network (Wi-Fi).
C:\Users\User>netsh wlan show interface | findstr /i "SSID" name
SSID : HOME
BSSID : bc:62:d2:4a:a1:48
An error message is output if I run the following command next:
C:\Users\User>netsh lan show interface command
The Wired AutoConfig Service (dot3svc) is not running.
But after I started the service, I still do not get the active connected Ethernet name.
C:\Users\User>netsh lan show interface command
There is 1 interface on the system:
Name : Ethernet
Description : Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller
GUID : e901d916-86f4-4070-9941-47a9a325537a
Physical Address : 98-E7-43-0F-8F-84
State : Connected. Network does not support authentication.
Can anyone help me to get the Ethernet name Home on wired LAN connection?
The following command, entered directly in cmd, should display the name of the connected network profile(s), regardless of whether they are wired or wireless, on a Windows 8 / Server 2012 Operating System or newer.
For /F Tokens^=6^ Delims^=^" %G In ('%SystemRoot%\System32\wbem\WMIC.exe /NameSpace:\\Root\StandardCimv2 Path MSFT_NetConnectionProfile Where "IPv4Connectivity='4'" Get Name /Format:MOF 2^>NUL') Do #Echo %G
From a batch-file, for GUI double-click, it would look a little more like this:
#(For /F Tokens^=6^ Delims^=^" %%G In ('%SystemRoot%\System32\wbem\WMIC.exe
/NameSpace:\\Root\StandardCimv2 Path MSFT_NetConnectionProfile Where
"IPv4Connectivity='4'" Get Name /Format:MOF 2^>NUL') Do #Echo %%G) & Pause

I am trying to add a line to my start up scrip which would automatically start the VPN if I am connected to WiFi networks outside of my work.
I can get the names from netsh wlan commands, but I am not able to just "pick" the SSID/network name from that.
Is there a way to extract particular information from the netsh output or is there a way to output just the wifi name?
Thanks in advance.
You can use the findstr command to find a string in a commands, specifically the SSID.
Script:
#echo off
set "wifiNetwork=example network"
(netsh wlan show networks | findstr /C:": %wifiNetwork%" >nul 2>&1)&&goto :found
echo Wi-Fi network "%wifiNetwork%" not found
goto :end
:found
echo Wi-Fi network "%wifiNetwork%" found!
:end
pause
NOTE: The findstr command is case-sensitive unless you add the /I option
I am trying to add a network printer via batch file, provided I feed the data(Printer IP, Printer Name, Computer IP) into the entries.
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS(P)" /c\\%computerNameIP% /h "x86" /f %windir%\inf\prnkm002.inf /r "IP_%computerNameIP%" /m "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS(P)" /n\\%computerNameIP%\%printerName% /F %windir%\inf\prnkm002.inf
Now, once this command is completed, I receive the following error:
Operation could not be completed(error 0x00000032). This operation is not supported.
I ran a similar code with runs the GUI:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /il /b "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS(P)" /c\\%computerNameIP% /h "x86" /f %windir%\inf\prnkm002.inf /r "IP_%computerNameIP%" /m "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS(P)" /n\\%computerNameIP% \%printerName% /F %windir%\inf\prnkm002.inf
and I have to choose a local local Printer: which I adjust to be TCP/IP and the drivers come default since I set it. After choosing my driver, I receive the error as well.
I just can't pinpoint what exactly isn't supported.
Windows 7 32-bit. I made adjustments to the registry, print management, group policy, but none of those seem concrete to what is preventing a remote add to a network printer.
I found another way to do it with the prncnfg.vbs files. First create the port, assign it, then manage it.
This is all located in the admin scripts in Windows folder
EDIT: Found a fix without using Task Scheduler.
#echo off
:loop
set addresses=192.168.1.1
for %%a in (%addresses%) do ping %%a -n 1 > nul || netsh wlan add profile filename=C:\User\path\to\wireless\xml\profile.xml user=all
timeout /t 5
goto :loop
it repeats every 5 seconds
I am halfway there but have become stuck. I already have a batch file that can connect the laptop back to the network when manually run but wanted it to run when no internet is detected. So I went ahead and bound it to Task Scheduler with the Trigger being the "Microsoft-Windows-NetworkProfile/Operational" with an ID of 10001 (which is the Disconnect ID) but have no luck with it.
I believe it only triggers when it manually gets disconnected from the internet, not when the wireless card drops the signal on its' own. Any ideas as to what I can do?
OS: Windows 8.1
Wireless Interface: Cable Matters AC600 Dual Band Wireless dongle (doesn't allow Auto Connect to SSID and keeps dropping the connection for unknown reasons)
Found a solution!
#echo off
:loop
set addresses=192.168.1.1
for %%a in (%addresses%) do ping %%a -n 1 > nul || netsh wlan add profile filename=C:\User\path\to\wireless\xml\profile.xml user=all
timeout /t 5
goto :loop
What this does is ping an address once (in this case an internal address so I don't get DDoS threats from sites) and if it responds back with an error, it will load a wifi profile.
To get the profile first you will need to type
netsh wlan show profiles
to see what profiles you have (it only loads profiles for the wireless card currently in use). After seeing the names of the profiles you can download the profile by typing
netsh wlan export profile name=[profile name]
I believe it will save to the desktop and from there you can change the code listed at the top of this comment to match the filepath of the xml file to suit your needs.
Cheers!
What about a batch script that regularly performs pings and you inspect the result?
ping some.host > pinged.txt
find "some string which occurs if the network went down" pinged.txt
If %errorlevel% is 0 than the string was found and the connection went down.
I use 'ipconfig /all' or 'getmac /v' to get all NIC physical addresses.
But the problem is, generally a computer has more than one NIC card. Also, there are some virtual MAC addresses like Microsoft virtual wifi hotspot NIC which shows only when wifi hotspot is on.
So, how can I collect only the address corresponding to ethernet via cmd?
This command fetches MAC addresses of physical ethernet network devices:
wmic path Win32_NetworkAdapter where "PNPDeviceID like '%PCI%' AND AdapterTypeID='0'" get name, MacAddress
if you want to fetch virtual ones as well then use this:
wmic path Win32_NetworkAdapter where "AdapterTypeID='0'" get name, MacAddress
or this one for fetching all the MAC addresses of all network devices:
wmic path Win32_NetworkAdapter get name, MacAddress
Just in case you are interested how it works:
We are using WMIC tool provided by Windows to fetch adapter info from Win32_NetworkAdapter.
Then filter ethernet adapters by AdapterTypeID=0 as 0 corresponds to ethernet type.
Finally filter physical devices with PNPDeviceID like '%PCI% since they are attached to PCI.
You might also want to look at the result of whole Win32_NetworkAdapter and play with it with this command:
wmic path Win32_NetworkAdapter
I advise to you use powershell because very powerful than cmd
Get-CimInstance win32_networkadapterconfiguration | select description, macaddress | where {$_.MACAddress -ne $n
ull }
output :
description macaddress
----------- ----------
RAS Async Adapter 20:41:53:59:4E:FF

VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet1 00:50:56:C0:00:01
VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet8 00:50:56:C0:00:08
that command in powershell select all macaddress for device enable your machine that included vmware but we can do more filter for example
Get-CimInstance win32_networkadapterconfiguration | select description, macaddress | where {$_.MACAddress -ne $n
ull } | where {$_.Description -match "Realtek" }
output:
description macaddress
----------- ----------
Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller 18:03:73:65:64:AB
but if your just run in cmd you should encode this command in powershell like this
$script={ Get-CimInstance win32_networkadapterconfiguration | select description, macaddress | where {$_.MACAddr
ess -ne $null } | where {$_.Description -match "Realtek" } }
[System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes( $script))

This should provide the information required, but it would have been better had you provided sample output from your machine as your experience may not be exactly reproduced on others' installations.
on commandline:
for /f %i in ('wmic nic get MACAddress ^|find ":"') do #echo %i
or
for /f %i in ('getmac^|find "-"') do #echo %i
for use in a batchfile, use %%i instead of %i
To only get the active network card's MAC-address using Powershell:
(Get-WmiObject win32_networkadapterconfiguration -ComputerName $env:COMPUTERNAME | Where{$_.IpEnabled -Match "True"} | Select-Object -Expand macaddress) -join ","
You can try this :
netsh interface ip show addresses "Ethernet"
I have tried googling it but couldn't find it. I know the command for it is cd /media for linux but have no idea what it is for Windows.I also tried the dir command but couldn't find anything related to media or usb.
You can access the USB drive by its drive letter. To know the drive letter you can run this command:
C:\>wmic logicaldisk where drivetype=2 get deviceid, volumename, description
From here you will get the drive letter (Device ID) of your USB drive.
For example if its F: then run the following command in command prompt to see its contents:
C:\> F:
F:\> dir
firstly you have to change the drive, which is allocated to your usb.
follow these step to access your pendrive using CMD.
1- type drivename follow by the colon just like k:
2- type dir it will show all the files and directory in your usb
3- now you can access any file or directory of your usb.
Try this batch :
#echo off
