repost - 100/full auto??

repost from microsoft.public.programming.vbscript (Due to lack of posts in
that NG)

Anyway of scripting all servers in the domain to determine nic speed?
(Mostly Broadcom nic's but some others NICS apply such as 3com and
Intel) I am using 2000 Server and 2003 server. We need to set our
cards to 100/full and I am worried I might have missed a few. (There
are hundreds of them..)

It seems to only show up in a GUID so I was wondering if there was some
way to determine which GUID both nics are in on each server.

An additional help would be if you knew of a way to determine the
'linked' or 'active' nic. (Perhaps WMI? or remote reg queries?)

Thank you in advance.

Hi ato, Thank you for this, I've already compared dumps from registries
before/after change and found that key.. (Thank you though) However, I
need to only obtain the information for the 'active' nic... I'd imagine
I need to compare the NetCfgInstanceId to determine which one is
correct.. am I going down the right track?

Hello,

You'll need the following WMI classes/fields:
----------------------------------------------------------------
FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration
> Index (1)
> SettingID (2)
> IPEnabled (3)
> Caption
> MACAddress
> IPAddress
FROM MSNdis_EnumerateAdapter
> DeviceName (4)
> InstanceName (5)
FROM MSNdis_LinkSpeed
> InstanceName
> NdisLinkSpeed (6)
----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES:
(1) Index will link you to the NIC registry entry as it is
equivalent to the 4-digit adapter subkey
(2) SettingID looks like a GUID and is your link to the
MSNdis_ classes. SettingID is equivalent to DeviceName (4)=20
in MSNdis_EnumerateAdapter
(3) IPEnabled indicates whether the adapter is TCP/IP-enabled
(4) DeviceName is equivalent to the SettingID in=20
Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration
(5) InstanceName is a common link between the MSNdis classes.
Use it to link to MSNdis_LinkSpeed
(6) NdisLinkSpeed is the operational, negotiated NIC linkspeed which =
could be
different from registry configuration settings

Also, please note that all the information above is based solely on=20
my observations and for the most part, as far as I know, is not =
substantiated
anywhere else.

Regards,
Ato
