From a Windows box, I need to remotely look at the NICs of about 60 Windows
servers I have administrative accounts on.

I was going to try and use IO::Interface, but I cannot get the module
installed. I cannot find the PPD for IO-Interface-1.04 so I can use ppm.

Does anybody have a Perl solution for getting the NIC configurations on
remote Window servers? Is IO-Interface my best option?

Thanks,

Coz.

Have you looked into trying one of these modules?

Win32::IPConfig
http://search.cpan.org/~jmacfarla/Win32-IPConfig-0.09/lib/Wi n32/IPConfig.pm

Win32::IPConfig::Adapter
http://search.cpan.org/~jmacfarla/Win32-IPConfig-0.09/lib/Wi n32/IPConfig/Adapter.pm

Net::Address::Ethernet
http://search.cpan.org/~mthurn/Net-Address-Ethernet-1.111/li b/Net/Address/Ethernet.pm

Thanks Ron. It looks like Win32::IPConfig will do what I need.

If you are interested in the special NIC configuration (such as media
speed etc.) you'll have to use WMI.

I can post a script if needed.

Thomas, I would really appriciate it if you could post your script. It's
not what I'm really try to grab, but I can use it for a learning
experience. (Besides, maybe it is what I need, but don't know it.)

What I need to capture is the Internet Protocol properties such as the IP
address, subnet mask, default gateway, and the preferred and alternate
DNS servers.

Thanks.
