Post by **sekou2331** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 1:30 am

I am trying to see duplex settings on multi computers. I tried using win32_networkadapter and win32_networkadapterconfiguration but i cant get the information I need which is below. Is there somewhere else i have to look.

You cannot set that with WMI. It can usually only be done using the manufacturers utilites or with the DEVCON utility.

I found a way by using WMI and the registry. Thanks for the help.

Good - this may work with some NICs. Many have an encoded binary in the registry so it cannot be easily done.

In any case it is not really a scripting issue but one of "how do I manage my vendor's NIC?"
