Powershell Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration Not "seeing" PPP Adapter
- by Ben
I am trying to get the IP of a PPP VPN network connection, but Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration does not seem to "see" it.
If I interrogate all adapters using my script, it will see everything but the PPP VPN adapter. Is there a specific filter or something I need to enable, or do I need a different class?
My Script:
$colItems = Get-wmiobject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration
foreach ($objItem in $colItems) {
Write-Host Description: $objItem.Description
Write-Host IP Address: $objItem.IPAddress
Write-Host ""
}
Script Output:
Description: WAN Miniport (SSTP)
