Network Card inventory

I want to inventory the network card information on my managed computers, details like model, driver version etc.  My clients are Win7 x64 managed by SCCM 2012 R2 CU3.
I've found a nice article that describes doing this using the Regkey to MOF tool
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgr_geek_speak/archive/2013/11/10/inventorying-and-reporting-network-adapter-driver-details-and-how-to-report-only-the-wireless-type-in-configuration-manager-2012.aspx
I've used Regkey to MOF in the past successfully, but when I navigate to the regkey in this article, and copy/paste the code from the "to import in admin/agent settings... tab", then try to import it into my CAS under default client settings, I
get "The MOF file you tried to import could not be compiled".
I also try to check the MOF file i'm trying to import using the MOFcomp utility, which kicks out the error "Unexpected character in class name (must be an identifier).
Is there something more that needs to be done to the Class Name to get this to successfully pass the mofcomp check?  The class name is {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  • RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the samemachine

    Sean,
    I mean I am always connecting to the nodemgr of the 2nd environment
    successfully. Only when I run the client part of the application that I know
    is up, I get a response from the Name Server that it is actually the first
    IP address.
    I checked again. I defenitely have FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to IP:5004, in my
    case, and not the hostname. I don't have FORTE_LOCATIONS set any where. the
    NS_ADDRESS for env2 has only 1 IP address associated with it. My Forte
    Control Panel on the client, and hence the NS address has only one entry.
    I tried going into escript like you said, and the name service still thinks
    it is IP1.

    Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same
    machine
    Hmmmm? That is a little odd! Let me rehash what I think you are saying.
    You now have two environments each with their own name service with
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to a different IP:Port combination. For example you
    are doing the steps:
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.1:5000
    start the nodemgr for env 1
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.2:5000
    start the nodemgr for env 2
    Now when you start a client you are always getting the address for env 1
    back from the nodemgr. I assume you actually mean the name service? Or, do
    you mean you are always connecting to the nodemgr & name service for env
    1?
    If the first scenario is the case and you are connecting to the nodemgr
    for
    env 2 but getting back IP's for services listening on the card for env 1 I
    would ask you what you are setting the FORTE_LOCATIONS value to before you
    start each service. If you are not setting it or are using the host name
    it
    will register using the IP for the primary network card associated with
    the
    machine name and I am again assuming that this is env 1. You need to set
    the FORTE_LOCATIONS variable to 255.255.255.2:0 (based on the steps above)
    before starting your services.
    If the second scenario is the case I would have you check what the
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS is set to before you start up the client. Once again it
    must be the IP:Port combination not host:port combination if you want to
    get
    anything other than the primary card.
    I would also suggest that you do the following. After everything is up
    and
    running execute the following commands:
    escript -fns "ip for env1":port
    findsub nameservice
    showpart
    What you should see is everything currently registered under the name
    service. It will have the name and any "locations" (IP and port) that it
    is
    registered as listening on. I would look for the nodemgr and see where it
    has advertised itself. I would then look for any services you expect to
    be
    registered there and also verify where the have advertised themselves. If
    there are multiple locations listed for any one service, the client will
    use
    the first one in the list.
    Do the same for env 2.

    Hello Venkat,
    I probably should have mentioned this before. Your are correct. Forteis
    doing a host lookup if you are providing a name for examplemachine1:5000.
    You can bypass the host lookup by using the actual ip dot addressinstead
    for example 255.255.255.255:5000. This way you are taking the name
    service
    out od the picture and Forte will use the address provided.

    My requirement is that my second card serves as best case performance
    testing piece. This eliminates the network completely. We went one step
    ahead and created a new enviromnent for the second card. Whatever I do,
    the
    nodemgr is returning back the IP address of the first card, even thoughmy
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS does not have the first card in the picture any where.
    I think Forte is doing a host look up and returning the first IP address

    finds, as opposed to returning the IP address specified in theenvironment
    variable FORTE_NS_ADDRESS. Is there a way to trick it?

    Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same
    machine
    OK, you ran into one of the issues. That is, if both addresses areknown
    to
    the client that is trying to contact the partition it will always usethe
    first address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. This is because FORTE_LOCATIONS was
    designed more as a failover mechanism. So it will always try the
    first
    address in the list and if it succeeds, there is no reason to move onto
    the
    second.
    Now, the second issue is that there is currently a problem with theclient
    failover to the secondary address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. If the firstentry
    fails it is supposed to retry on the second entry. Instead, it
    retries
    the
    first entry again. I know that Forte knows about this but I do nothave
    a
    bug number on it.
    With that said, lets look at a possible solution for you. If the real
    objective here is to have a back up network card available for fail
    over
    on
    the same machine, or use one card to advertise outside your firewalland
    one
    to use inside, then you will have to contact Forte to determine whenthe
    failover problem will be fixed. But, if the objective is to loadbalance
    across the network cards you could have the environment manager listenon
    both ports and then alternate your server partitions across both
    cards.
    For
    example:
    set FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=card1:5000;card2:5000 and then start up the
    environment
    manager
    set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card1:0 (the 0 in the port causes the OS to pick a
    port)
    and start partition one
    set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card2:0 and start partition two
    and so on....
    In this scenario the environment manager will be listening on bothcards
    but
    each server will be listening on only one of the two cards. So if a
    request
    comes in for partition1 it will go through card one and if it is for
    partition two it will go through card two. You could assign your
    partitions
    to cards based on expected load.
    Well, I am done. I hope this helps!

    Sean,
    Thanks for your reply. I tried the approach. I was not very specificin
    my
    question. I do need the ability for server applications to listen and
    server
    on both the network cards.
    I was succesfully able to make the nodemgr listen on both the cardsand
    actually serve requests coming in from both the cards. But, followingyour
    advise, I took a cautious step with FORTE_LOCATIONS. Here is what I
    noticed.
    I have an application that has 6 partitions in total. I used
    FORTE_LOCATION
    to make it listen on 1. Both the cards. 2. Swapped the IP addresses
    for
    both
    cards for this application. 3. One card that I want it to listen on. I
    tried
    all approaches by exporting the locations variable for just this
    application. The nodemgr recieves a request from this pc connected onthe
    second card to talk to one of the partitions. The node mgr responds
    with
    a
    proxy - with the ip address and socket number of the first card. The
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS variable looks like this:
    IP1:5002;IP2:5002.
    Is it possible atall to resolve my problem, without having a seperate
    environment?

    Venkat,
    Actually, it is possible for Forte to listen on more than one IP andport
    combination. The first reply to your message was correct. If you
    set
    the
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS to contain multiple entries before starting the
    name
    service, it will advertise on both. For Forte servers you use the
    FORTE_LOCATIONS env variable to get it to advertise on multipleip:port
    combinations.
    We were doing something very similar with another customer I was at
    to
    get
    around a firewall. I will warn you that there are some issues with
    FORTE_LOCATIONS that may keep that portion from working. However,
    from
    reading your note, it appears that all you need is for the nameservice
    to
    advertise and listen on multiple ports and that works fine. I justtested
    it again for sanity sake and it worked. I ran my test on NT using
    Forte
    3G2.

    Venkat,
    Technically yes this is possible, though not in Forte. A nameserver
    can
    only listen on one port.
    To implement this scheme you will have to write a proxy service (insome
    language
    including perhaps forte) which listens on the well-known port on the
    second card, reads requests, then forwards them to the realnameservice
    (wkp on the first card), and forwards replies back. This is not
    trivial, but some firewall toolkit vendors supply stub code to write
    application specific proxies.

  • Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

    I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
    The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
    I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
    Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

  • Help with purchasing correct network card

    Hi, I'm trying to set up a wireless network for a friend who has an IBook G3 purchased in December 2002 which I know makes it very old. I have a 802.11g wireless ADSL router successfully set up and the IBook can connect to the internet successfully through a standard network cable to the router.
    I would like to connect to the router wirelessly so I would appreciate some guidance on the correct network card to buy for this model
    IBook G3 PowerPC Model A1005   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Welcome, Kosh-vorion
    first check with the system profiler (Apple->"Abouth this Mac"->"more Info")then "network"->Airport card
    whether there is already an airport card build in. if not, you need to buy it and install it; i don't know whether this is easy or not for an iBook to install. There is a manual here:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iBookG3_14inchUserGuideMultilingual.PDF
    but i'm not sure whether it is exactly your model. (search the Apple supprt pages, if it isn't).
    cost of the Airport card is something like 50 $.
    If it is already installed, go to "system preferences"-> network and setup.
    Post back, if you have more questions.
    success,
    Thomas

  • Can I use more than one network cards simultaneously?

  • How to use two different network cards on RT?

    Hi everyone... I'm currently working on a project where I have to deal with the issue mentioned in the thread's topic: I have a PC with RT LabVIEW that has to be able to establish network connections using two different network cards. One will be used to connect via TCP/IP with a host computer that will show the data transmitted through shared variables; the other will communicate with another PC through Modbus protocol. The key is that each communication is done through a separate network card.
    So far I haven't been able to figure out how to configure both things to happen. Does anyone know how to do this? Any tips will help.
    For the RT communication I'm using a standard RT project, with the RT PC being given one of the IPs, and for the Modbus part, I created an I/O server with a master and a slave. Separately everything works fine, but when I get them together it simply won't work.
    Thanks for your help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sorry it took me so long to answer, I've been busy lately....I've found a solution to the problem I mentioned, and just in case anyone has similar problems in the future, I'll shortly describe what happened.
    As Caseyw suggested, it was necessary to enable both network cards through the Measurement and Automation Explorer. The cause of the connections malfunction was actually that I wasn't using the "right" protocol for the Modbus communication, which ran on the secondary adapter. The solution was to use the URL protocol with the correct path on the field, addressing the right IP address. To avoid making this post a mixture of topics, I won't elaborate futher, but I got the gist of it, so if anyone is having similar problems whether it is working with several network cards or with Modbus communication protocols, feel free to contact me, I'll be glad to help.
    Thanks

  • Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the samemachine

    Folks,
    Here is what we would like to do:
    We want to have 2 network cards on a unix box - which means I have 2 ip
    addresses, and the connection between the two is the unix box and only the
    unix box. I have a pc connected to the 2nd network card and I want it to
    connect to the nameserver that is listening on a well known port on the
    first network card. We don't want to turn IP forwarding between the two
    cards. We want Forte to address both cards to talk to clients, in one
    environment.
    Can this be done? If so how?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hmmmm? That is a little odd! Let me rehash what I think you are saying.
    You now have two environments each with their own name service with
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to a different IP:Port combination. For example you
    are doing the steps:
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.1:5000
    start the nodemgr for env 1
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.2:5000
    start the nodemgr for env 2
    Now when you start a client you are always getting the address for env 1
    back from the nodemgr. I assume you actually mean the name service? Or, do
    you mean you are always connecting to the nodemgr & name service for env 1?
    If the first scenario is the case and you are connecting to the nodemgr for
    env 2 but getting back IP's for services listening on the card for env 1 I
    would ask you what you are setting the FORTE_LOCATIONS value to before you
    start each service. If you are not setting it or are using the host name it
    will register using the IP for the primary network card associated with the
    machine name and I am again assuming that this is env 1. You need to set
    the FORTE_LOCATIONS variable to 255.255.255.2:0 (based on the steps above)
    before starting your services.
    If the second scenario is the case I would have you check what the
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS is set to before you start up the client. Once again it
    must be the IP:Port combination not host:port combination if you want to get
    anything other than the primary card.
    I would also suggest that you do the following. After everything is up and
    running execute the following commands:
    escript -fns "ip for env1":port
    findsub nameservice
    showpart
    What you should see is everything currently registered under the name
    service. It will have the name and any "locations" (IP and port) that it is
    registered as listening on. I would look for the nodemgr and see where it
    has advertised itself. I would then look for any services you expect to be
    registered there and also verify where the have advertised themselves. If
    there are multiple locations listed for any one service, the client will use
    the first one in the list.
    Do the same for env 2.

    Hello Venkat,
    I probably should have mentioned this before. Your are correct. Forte is
    doing a host lookup if you are providing a name for example machine1:5000.
    You can bypass the host lookup by using the actual ip dot address instead
    for example 255.255.255.255:5000. This way you are taking the name
    service
    out od the picture and Forte will use the address provided.

    Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same machine
    My requirement is that my second card serves as best case performance
    testing piece. This eliminates the network completely. We went one step
    ahead and created a new enviromnent for the second card. Whatever I do,
    the
    nodemgr is returning back the IP address of the first card, even though my
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS does not have the first card in the picture any where.
    I think Forte is doing a host look up and returning the first IP address
    it
    finds, as opposed to returning the IP address specified in the environment
    variable FORTE_NS_ADDRESS. Is there a way to trick it?

    Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same
    machine
    OK, you ran into one of the issues. That is, if both addresses areknown
    to
    the client that is trying to contact the partition it will always usethe
    first address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. This is because FORTE_LOCATIONS was
    designed more as a failover mechanism. So it will always try the first
    address in the list and if it succeeds, there is no reason to move on to
    the
    second.
    Now, the second issue is that there is currently a problem with theclient
    failover to the secondary address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. If the firstentry
    fails it is supposed to retry on the second entry. Instead, it retries
    the
    first entry again. I know that Forte knows about this but I do not havea
    bug number on it.
    With that said, lets look at a possible solution for you. If the real
    objective here is to have a back up network card available for fail over
    on
    the same machine, or use one card to advertise outside your firewall and
    one
    to use inside, then you will have to contact Forte to determine when the
    failover problem will be fixed. But, if the objective is to loadbalance
    across the network cards you could have the environment manager listenon
    both ports and then alternate your server partitions across both cards.
    For
    example:
    set FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=card1:5000;card2:5000 and then start up the
    environment
    manager
    set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card1:0 (the 0 in the port causes the OS to pick a
    port)
    and start partition one
    set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card2:0 and start partition two
    and so on....
    In this scenario the environment manager will be listening on both cards
    but
    each server will be listening on only one of the two cards. So if a
    request
    comes in for partition1 it will go through card one and if it is for
    partition two it will go through card two. You could assign your
    partitions
    to cards based on expected load.
    Well, I am done. I hope this helps!

    Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same machine
    Sean,
    Thanks for your reply. I tried the approach. I was not very specific in
    my
    question. I do need the ability for server applications to listen and
    server
    on both the network cards.
    I was succesfully able to make the nodemgr listen on both the cards and
    actually serve requests coming in from both the cards. But, followingyour
    advise, I took a cautious step with FORTE_LOCATIONS. Here is what I
    noticed.
    I have an application that has 6 partitions in total. I used
    FORTE_LOCATION
    to make it listen on 1. Both the cards. 2. Swapped the IP addresses for
    both
    cards for this application. 3. One card that I want it to listen on. I
    tried
    all approaches by exporting the locations variable for just this
    application. The nodemgr recieves a request from this pc connected onthe
    second card to talk to one of the partitions. The node mgr responds witha
    proxy - with the ip address and socket number of the first card. The
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS variable looks like this:
    IP1:5002;IP2:5002.
    Is it possible atall to resolve my problem, without having a seperate
    environment?
    Thanks

    Venkat,
    Actually, it is possible for Forte to listen on more than one IP andport
    combination. The first reply to your message was correct. If you setthe
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS to contain multiple entries before starting the name
    service, it will advertise on both. For Forte servers you use the
    FORTE_LOCATIONS env variable to get it to advertise on multiple
    ip:port
    combinations.
    We were doing something very similar with another customer I was at toget
    around a firewall. I will warn you that there are some issues with
    FORTE_LOCATIONS that may keep that portion from working. However,
    from
    reading your note, it appears that all you need is for the nameservice
    to
    advertise and listen on multiple ports and that works fine. I justtested
    it again for sanity sake and it worked. I ran my test on NT using
    Forte
    3G2.

    Venkat,
    Technically yes this is possible, though not in Forte. A nameserver
    can
    only listen on one port.
    To implement this scheme you will have to write a proxy service (insome
    language
    including perhaps forte) which listens on the well-known port on the
    second card, reads requests, then forwards them to the realnameservice
    (wkp on the first card), and forwards replies back. This is not
    trivial, but some firewall toolkit vendors supply stub code to write
    application specific proxies.

  • Multiple Network Card Question

    I've got a Pc which has both a ethernet card and a wireless dongle used at different times. 
    In the setup for the 2Wire.com router I get the PC name listed twice ,once for each network card, understanable in a way I suppose as they have different identities on the LAN. But, when I'm making settings for the PC in the setup, I don't know which one I'm making the setting for - the PC name is just listed. How should I be doing this?

    Don't worry, I've re-posted this in the business forum, as I think that#s where it should be.

  • How do I find out what network 'card' is in my DV6700?

    There are umpteen numbers of various DV6700's...the only model number I show on mine is DV6700....yet, the driver info does not list a wired driver..only wireless.  I need the 'car' manufacturer and the driver for windows XP.  How and where do I get this information?  (My hard drive failed and I had to install Windows XP Pro, cold, from a Microsoft CD and it did not have any laptop drivers that were recognized by my laptop.)
    Thanks in advance

    Really there are only 2 versions, Intel and AMD. If you have AMD the network card is driven by the chipset driver for the nVidia chipset which you can get for Windows XP:

  • T520 won't detect Network card in WDS/WinPE/​Ghost image disk

    Hello all,
    I figured I would just post this so I could save 2 days of someone elses life.
    I'm not sure how many other modes have the EFI and UEFI bios's in them but this has caused a lot of problems when trying to capture an image / image the Lenovo T520.  So for anyone else that is having these problems here is how I got around the problem.
    The Problem:
    While trying to boot up off a Capture image with a CD or PXE boot for our WDS server the laptop would not detect the network card giving no IP address and listing the adapter as a hybrid.  When trying to do a ipconfig /renew it would give an error around the lines of the loopback something or other ....... the adapter could not be contacted or initated.
    I instantly thought this was due to the vanila WinPE / Capture image not having the drivers for the Lenovoo T520, so I went to the website downloaded the new drivers and injected them into the WinPE disk(You will want ot use the NDIS Drivers which are included in the package for this).  Following this process it would still not detect or install the NIC.  After many hours of searching it would apear this was due to the EFI/UEFI bios options not going through the proper boot cycle when in a PE enviroment.  The solution was to mess around with the EFI/UEFI switches in the WinPE boot image during the creation proccess as listed below:
    ocdimg -m -o -u2 -udfver102 -bootdata:2#p0,e,bc:\winpe_x64\etfsboot.com#pEF,e,​bc:\winpe_x64\efisys.bin c:\winpe_x64\ISO c:\winpe_x64\winpeuefi.iso
    The link with more details is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947024
    Eseentially once the new boot image was complied with the proper EFI / UEFI options enabled it went through the proper boot process detected the NIC and installed the drivers which I previously provided on the disk and we where off to the races imaging the new laptop.
    Hopefull this will help some others who are struggling with this or any other model that has this type of bios.
    Cheers, and thanks
    Please feel free to post any additional comments to help others if you found better ways to get around this
    One side note the EFI/UEFI to legacy mode only does nothing for the NIC problem, I have seen some posts where they can help with the hard drive issues when imaging, however as for the nic not loading in PE enviroments this setting in the BIOS did not reslove the problem.

    Hi Rusty1234
    If I did not remember wrongly, you may present or add drivers (network, hardware) under WDS / Ghost software or copy necessary drivers (e.g. your T520 network card drivers) under it's PXE / boot section.
    Happy 2012!

    Which one can I use properly to monitor all the wireless Devices in my hous

    Actually, none of the options will do what you are looking for it to do. That is because, this application only monitors the traffic from the device it is hosted on. That would also mean that you would have to run a copy on each computer that will access the Internet on your network; note their individual usages, and then, combine them to get an idea of the total usage.
    However, if you are only interested in the amount of Wi-Fi traffic that only your computer is seeing, then the "AirPort Network Card" option would be the correct choice.

    on my pc. One LAN card for clients access and one for internet router. I need to share internet connection to my client computers with
    web filtering. So how to do that? I need to block some sites to client access.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use the WS 2008 to share Internet connection and provide web filtering function for internal clients.
    Internal clients –(NIC1) WS 2008(NIC2) – Internet router – Internet network
    Manually assign IP address, default gateway, DNS server, etc. on NIC2. Manually assign IP address, DNS server, etc. on NIC1.
    Install Network Policy and Access Services – Routing and Remote Access Services. Detailed steps reference:
    Install and Enable the Routing and Remote Access Service
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770798(v=ws.10).aspx
    Then open Routing and Remote Access and start configuration. Enable NAT on NIC2 to transfer IP address. Detailed steps reference:
    Enable and Configure NAT

    Windows Server itself does not support web-based filter, third-party tools with application-layer firewall might be needed to realize this function. Configure WS as a router, it supports IP packet filtering, which specifies which type of traffic is allowed
    into and out of the router. Reference:

  • A question about Routers and network cards

    I have a question, Can Hardware confict with internet speed problems with the routers like one having a gigabit etherenet network card and 1/100 intel etherent card?

    Ethernet components are generally compatible across brand names, and speeds.  So you can connect gigabit cards to 10/100 networks.  You can connect 10/100 cards to gigabit networks.
    When you mix speeds, you will be limited to the fastest speed that all components can do, so if you connect a gigabit card to a 10/100 network, you will be limited to a 100 Mbps connection.
