How to get VM MAC details

[ganapa2000]

Hi,

I am trying to get the details of network card MAC from all the VMs in the vcenter, if they are manual or automatic assigned ?

please help, how can I get those.

You could do something like this

Get-VM -PipelineVariable vm |
Get-NetworkAdapter |
Select @{N='VM';E={$vm.Name}},
  @{N='NIC';E={$_.Name}},
  MacAddress,
  @{N='MACType';E={
    if($_.ExtensionData.AddressType -eq 'manual'){'Manual'}else{'Automatic'}}}

Hi LucD,

There is a VM with Generated, what does that mean ? How do we get that in the output ?

Just replace the calculated property with

@{N='MACType';E={$_.ExtensionData.AddressType}}

But be aware that you now will see Manual, Generated and Assigned.
