Fixed the broken Get-VMNetworkAdapter* commands.

[helmste]

The commands used to gather the virtual NIC data were not working for the host because they were incorrectly referencing the DeviceID. I updated the commands so they would gather the correct information.

Device ID does appear to be available for Host VNics ( -ManagementOS):

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> get-vmnetworkadapter -ManagementOS | fl *


VMCheckpointId                          : 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
VMCheckpointName                        :
VmmqQueuePairs                          : 16
VmmqQueuePairsRequested                 : 0
IsManagementOs                          : True
MacAddress                              : 00155D0DDE3A
DeviceId                                : {70EBEFF6-10CD-400D-A29F-C6B4C0515E98}

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. You are correct that the Get-VMNetworkAdapter command itself does have DeviceID property available. My effort was to show that all of the other commands that start with Get-VMNetworkAdapter (Get-VMNetworkAdapterAcl, Get-VMNetworkAdapterExtendedAcl, Get-VMNetworkAdapterIsolation, Get-VMNetworkAdapterRoutingDomain, Get-VMNetworkAdapterTeamMapping and Get-VMNetworkAdapterVlan) do not have the DeviceID property available. Instead, these command reference the ParentAdapter like shown in the example below:

PS C:\> Get-VMNetworkAdapterAcl -ManagementOS | fl *


Action            : Allow
Direction         : Inbound
LocalAddress      :
LocalAddressType  : 0
MeteredMegabytes  :
RemoteAddress     : 100.100.100.100
RemoteAddressType : IPv4
ParentAdapter     : VMInternalNetworkAdapter, Name = 'TestvNic'
IsTemplate        : False
CimSession        : CimSession: .
ComputerName      : TestNode01
IsDeleted         : False

Action            : Allow
Direction         : Outbound
LocalAddress      :
LocalAddressType  : 0
MeteredMegabytes  :
RemoteAddress     : 100.100.100.100
RemoteAddressType : IPv4
ParentAdapter     : VMInternalNetworkAdapter, Name = 'TestvNic'
IsTemplate        : False
CimSession        : CimSession: .
ComputerName      : TestNode01
IsDeleted         : False

With the current code, all of the above mentioned commands error out. I have suggested an update that will get the name of the vnic and reference that within the ParentAdapter property to get the correct information.

@tmolenh, any update here? I have a lot of customers that use this module, but at times I must ask them to manually pull certain data due to this issue. Thanks for any assistance you can provide here.

I'm no longer with Microsoft, so I am unable to assist.
