Get network adapter disable/enable status thru wmi
Posted by Vijay Chegu on October 21st, 2003


Hi All,

Is it possible to determine thru WMI whether a network interface is
either enabled or disabled.

Devcon sample in winddk displays this status but i would like to know
if the same can be obtained from WMI.

"Win32_NetworkAdapter" class has two attributes
string Status;
uint16 StatusInfo;

when i see these values for network interface thru wbemtest.exe values
are null.

According to the description of "StatusInfo" this should be able to
give me enabled or disabled status.

Is there any other way thru WMI to detect enabled/disable status.

Thanxs & Regards,
Vijay Chegu
PS: Plz note i dont want network connection status, i want
enable/disable status which can be altered in "network and dialup
connections" window through right click.

Hi All,

Found the solution.

Arkadyf,
As i mentioned i dont want link status, i want network interface
enable disable status.

In win32_networkadapter class there is an attribute
uint32 ConfigManagerErrorCode;

This will give me the enable/disable status.
For disabled adapter the value is 22.

Thanx and Regards,
Vijay Chegu
