Get_mac UDF

[RichE]

Hi All,

Someone's most probably done ages ago, but someone may find it useful, i know i will , anyway it've tested it in a vista environment and the getmac command works fine, will test it via and Xp environment tomorrow at work.

CODE

#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

AutoIt Version: 3.2.12.1

Author: Richard Easton

Script Function:

Get mac address.

#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Include <File.au3>

#RequireAdmin

$PC = @ComputerName & ".tmp"

if fileexists($pc) then

filedelete($pc)

EndIf

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'getmac >> ' & $PC, "", @SW_HIDE)

$i = _FileCountLines($PC)

$line = 0

Do

$info = filereadline($PC, $line)

if $info = "" or StringInStr($info, "Physical", 0) or StringInStr($info, "===================", 0) or StringInStr($info, "Media disconnected", 0) then

sleep(1000)

$line = $line +1

else

$mac = stringleft(FileReadLine($pc, $line), 17)

$line = $i

filedelete($pc)

EndIf

until $line = $i

;msgbox(64, "MAC Address", "your mac address is " & $mac)

and I've used the file include, so whoever wrote it, thx and Kudos to them

sorry if i've posted this in the wrong place.

Tested on XP and the func works fine, if I could now ask someone to point me in the right direction for creating it as a UDF as with the code inside a .AU3 script it works fine, but when I try the run it as an include it doesn't bring back any result..???

You would need to use Func/EndFunc, and then instead of a Msgbox use Return

Thanks Pete1234, it was the Return part i was missing, anyways here's the GetMAC UDf, which displays your first active nic's mac address, which will be useful for some of my future apps.

No, not as long as the computer is in your network.

Hi,

Try this function that I have just implemented. This function returns an array of MAC addresses of the active cards.

#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AutoIt Version: v3.3.4.0
Author: MaxuN
Returns: Array[]
Script Function: Returns an array of MAC addresses of the active cards
#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

#RequireAdmin
Func _GetMACAddress()
    Local $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\localhost\root\CIMV2")
    Local $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WHERE IPEnabled=true", "WQL", 0x10 + 0x20)
    Local $i = 0, $Before = ""
    Local $MACs[1]
    For $objItem in $colItems
        Local $item = $objItem.MACAddress
        If $Before <> $item Then
            $MACs[$i] = $item
            $Before   = $item
            $i += 1
        EndIf
        If (UBound($MACs)-1) = $i Then ReDim $MACs[UBound($MACs)]
    Next
    Return $MACs
EndFunc

I'm waiting your replys.

P.S.: Sorry my English.

P.S.1: How can I upload an "Attached File" ?. Thks

Hello, Try this:

#include <Constants.au3>

MsgBox(0,"The mac Adress is",_GetMAC())

;Return Value:
;OK : The Mac Adress
;Wrong : Return ""
Func _GetMAC()
local $Result, $mac,$line

$mac = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'GETMAC /FO table',@SystemDir, @SW_HIDE,$STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

While 1
    $line &= StdoutRead($mac)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
Wend
$line = StringSplit($line,@CRLF,1)
if @error then Return ""
$Result = StringSplit($line[4]," ",1)
if @error then Return ""

Return $Result[1]

EndFunc

P.S.: Sorry my English.

Hello, I seen the script for the GetMac message box. I was wondering if anyone could help me? I need the mac address of the computer and the computer name outputed to an excel file. I need to use this script on 200+ computers for inventory so the script would need to tab down to the next line after it ran on each computer. Could you help? Thank you!!

The inventory scripts I write simply append the data to a file in CSV format, then just cut-n-paste or import into a spreadsheet. Done thousand of school PC's in hundreds of school classrooms in dozens of school districts.
