Windows Command Line - List Network Adapter Components

Question

I'm looking for a way to, in a batch file, get a list of the components (such as NDIS drivers) in use by each network adapter on the system. Here's a screenshot of the info I want in the network adapter properties:

Screenshot of network adapter properties:

I have looked through a lot of the data I can get from WMIC, and while I can find a lot of network adapter information I'm not able to find exactly what I'm looking for.

Is anyone aware of a way to get this information from the regular Windows command line without using third-party utilities?

Answer 1

Powershell:

Get-NetAdapterBinding -IncludeHidden -AllBindings

VBScript (using WMI):

strComputer = "." 
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\StandardCimv2") 
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM MSFT_NetAdapterBindingSettingData",,48)
Wscript.Echo "Name,DisplayName,ComponentId,Enabled"
For Each objItem in colItems 
    Wscript.Echo objItem.Name & "," & objItem.DisplayName & "," & objItem.ComponentId & "," & objItem.Enabled
Next

WMIC:

wmic /namespace:\\root\StandardCimv2 Path MSFT_NetAdapterBindingSettingData Get Name,DisplayName,ComponentId,Enabled

Answer 2

How do I get a list of the components used by each network adapter on the system.

You can use nvspbind (a Microsoft Technet application) to retrieve exactly the information you are asking for.

nvspbind is a tool for modifying network bindings from the command line. It is especially useful in Server Core environments with the Hyper-V role enabled.

...

There are three variations:

• Microsoft_Nvspbind_package.EXE is the standard 64 bit version for server core.

• 32bit_Nvspbind_package.EXE is a 32 bit version that works on Vista and newer.

• XP_Nvspbind_package.EXE is a reduced functionality 32 bit version that works on XP and newer.

Source Hyper-V Network VSP Bind (nvspbind)

I've tested the Microsoft_Nvspbind_package.EXE version on Windows 7 64 bit with the following results:

F:\temp>nvspbind.exe "Local Area Connection 2" > lan2.txt

F:\temp>type lan2.txt

Answer 3

As an update, and to provide an example for anyone else who may need to know this, I wanted to post that I've found a way to take the suggestion given by DavidPostill by downloading NVSPBind with BITSAdmin (BITS Administration Utility). Apparently BITSAdmin was never removed from Windows (it is still in Windows 10, and still performs this function as expected).

I start by making a folder in %TEMP% to save the downloaded files in, sort of like this:

MD "%TEMP%\NVSPBind"

Some ECHO commands can go here to inform the user about the download, but we'll skip that in the example and go right to using BITSAdmin to download NVSPBind (note that the priority needs to be "foreground" in order for the download to run immediately):

BITSADMIN.EXE /TRANSFER "NVSPBind" /DOWNLOAD /PRIORITY FOREGROUND "https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Hyper-V-Network-VSP-Bind-cf937850/file/117119/1/32bit_Nvspbind_package.EXE" "%TEMP%\NVSPBind\32bit_Nvspbind_package.exe"

Next I have the batch file extract the NVSPBind files:

"%TEMP%\NVSPBind\32BIT_NVSPBIND_PACKAGE.EXE" /Q /T:"%TEMP%\NVSPBind"

Now we can run NVSPBind, and have it output a list of network adapters and installed components to our log (we'll assume the log is being saved to the user's Desktop):

"%TEMP%\NVSPBind\NVSPBIND.EXE" *>>%UserProfile%\Desktop\Diagnostic_Log.txt

Then, of course, I have the batch file clean up after itself and delete the TEMP folder we created and the NVSPBind files:

RD /S /Q "%TEMP%\NVSPBind"

Altogether the above code would look like this:

MD "%TEMP%\NVSPBind"
BITSADMIN.EXE /TRANSFER "NVSPBind" /DOWNLOAD /PRIORITY FOREGROUND "https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Hyper-V-Network-VSP-Bind-cf937850/file/117119/1/32bit_Nvspbind_package.EXE" "%TEMP%\NVSPBind\32bit_Nvspbind_package.exe"
"%TEMP%\NVSPBind\32BIT_NVSPBIND_PACKAGE.EXE" /Q /T:"%TEMP%\NVSPBind"
"%TEMP%\NVSPBind\NVSPBIND.EXE" *>>%UserProfile%\Desktop\Diagnostic_Log.txt
RD /S /Q "%TEMP%\NVSPBind"

The final log would look something like the following:
