Overview
I needed a better way of reliably obtaining a specific MAC address from a Windows PC using LV than the available utility found at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/73AFD39FFBAAED6B8625753D00258A90
Use case: registering deployed assets via their MAC addresses.
Description
This utility uses getmac (built-in command in Windows 7 and up, which will return data as csv string) to retrieve all NICs on the local machine. Could be modified to target remote machine. Options to filter out "-"s from the returned MAC addresses, return only connected adaptors (filters out "Media disconected" and "Hardware not present") and search for a specifically named adaptor (such as "Local Area Connection") or return all adaptors with the string in the name. Outputs include All hardware, connected hardware, name-filtered and the first filtered and validated MAC address found in the filtered list.
Requirements
Software
Labview Runtime 2014 (Might work on older versions)
