Summary: Using Windows PowerShell 3.0 on Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 to display the IP address.

Hey, Scripting Guy! Question How can I use Windows PowerShell 3.0 on Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 to display IP address configurations?

Hey, Scripting Guy! Answer Use the Get-NetAdapter cmdlet and filter for net adapters that have a status of up. Pipe the results to the Get-NetIPAddress cmdlet. To produce a nice output, send the results to the Format-Tablecmdlet, as shown here.

Get-NetAdapter | ? status -eq 'up' | Get-NetIPAddress -ea 0 | ft ipaddress, interfacealias, prefixorigin -a

  • Hi All,

    I require a powershell script which will check the particular string value in txt file and if not present  that string will be appended otherwise not.Any help is much apprecaited

    many thanks

  • Is there any way to get all of the new comdlets provided in '08 and 2012 into my r2 and win 7 boxes.  I have downloaded powershell v3 and installed it but I still don't see these new cmdlet's when I search for them.  

  • How about Windows7? what could be the script?

  • @AballahSonDis If you have installed PowerShell 3 on, say perhaps, Windows 7, then many of the new cmdlets -- those based on CIM wrappers are not available because they are part of the Windows 8 operating system. To see all of your available cmdlets load all your modules GMO -List | IPMO and then use Get-Command to see the new commands.
