Someone did a diff on powershell v3 between windows 7 / Server 2008 and Windows 8 / Server 2012

"They can’t be made available on Windows 7 because the underlying WMI classes aren’t available"

If you combine the win32_networkadapterconfiguration and win32_networkadapter classes you can also recover about the same info as the get-netipconfiguration cmdlet. The only problem is the formatting needs be done seperately but they provide a lot of information.

So for Win 7, 'ipconfig /all' still works from powershell and I just found another command that provides network info in an anonymous post on the web.

gwmi win32_networkadapterconfiguration

No, there isn't an equivalent command for Windows 7. :( It's really a shame the Microsoft chose to make all *cool* new stuff Windows 8/Server 2012 only...

Is there an equivalent command for Win 7 64 bit?

I tried to run that command as an admin on my version 3.0 powershell on Win 7 Enterprise 64bit machine, and it said: Get-NetIPConfiguration : The term 'Get-NetIPConfiguration' is not recognized as the name of a cmd...

CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Get-NetIPConfiguration:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Any idea how to solve this problem?
