Re: Getmac reports ERROR Provider type not defined.

MJ,

Do you know where and how it is failing now?
What error you are getting from netsh?
Do you use you customer script (batch, wsh?) to work with netsh? If so, can you show us the script?
Just in case you use "Local Area Network" interface name there, make sure to register the name first with command like:
rundll32 netshell.dll HrRenameConnection
