Need help making a reg query batch.

[BoardBabe]

I need to find out the keystring of my WLAN NIC using a batch query, as I believe this changes on each install.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards\13]
"ServiceName"="{65FA9572-A7DB-42EE-8EC5-1D1D41E299FA}"
"Description"="Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection"

So I need a batch that search for Description "Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection" in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards\XX and then return the ServiceName value ({65FA9572-A7DB-42EE-8EC5-1D1D41E299FA}).

Please help me out here! Ive really tried myself but cant figure it out. Yzöwl, I know you know this hehe care to help out?

I do not know if this will help but here is a script that checks for the name of

the Network Card using a WMI in a vbs script. This has my and your cards name

in the array.

This script also run a check for working and not working devices and then makes

a txt file that list the results.

Blue Text Is The Array For The Network Cards.

Dim Act, Fso, StrComputer, ChkNCard, Wmi_1, Wmi_Class, InTa

StrComputer = "."

Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")

Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Wmi_1 = ("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Wmi_Class = Array(("Select * from Win32_PnPEntity"),("Select * from Win32_Processor") )

ChkNCard = Array(("VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter"),_

                  ("Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection"))

''' List Network Adaptor Name

  Set objWMIService =GetObject(Wmi_1)

  Set colNCard = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapter",,48)

  For Each objItem in colNCard

  For Each StrChkNCard In ChkNCard

    If objItem.Name = StrChkNCard Then

    Act.Popup "Network Card Name : " & objItem.Name,5,"Confirmed", 0 + 64

    End If

  Next

  Next

'''' List What Devices Are Working

InTa = 100

Set Ts = Fso.OpenTextFile("HWListError.txt",2,True)

    TS.WriteLine  "  <----- Error Code Check 1 Working Devices ----->"

    TS.WriteLine  "  <----- Time Start = " & Time() & " ----->"

Set objWMIService = GetObject(Wmi_1)

Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery(Wmi_Class(0) & " WHERE ConfigManagerErrorCode <> 1")

  For Each objItem in colItems

    InTa = InTa + 1

    TS.WriteLine  Vbcrlf & "  <----- Number Of Device Counter = " & InTa & " ----->" 

    TS.WriteLine  "  Class GUID: " & objItem.ClassGuid

    TS.WriteLine  "  Description: " & objItem.Description

    TS.WriteLine  "  Manufacturer: " & objItem.Manufacturer

    TS.WriteLine  "  Service: " & objItem.Service & vbCrLf & "  <---------------------------------->"

  Next

    TS.WriteLine  "  <----- Time Finished = " & Time() & " ----->"

    TS.WriteLine  "  <----- Total Amount Of Checks = " & InTa & " ----->"

    TS.Close

    InTa = InTa - InTa

    InTa = 1 - 1

    '''' List What Devices Are Not Working

    InTa = 1000

Well, I really never used any vbs scripts. but I tried run this script and it output way too much. I really just need the value of ServiceName so that I can use it as a %variable% to set a registry key with it.

[Yzöwl]

What exactly are you wanting it for?

Have you got more than one Network card?

If yes then do any of them need setting up differently?

I only ask because it may be better to build that functionality into the batch.

Oh sorry. I have 2 NICS, one WLAN and one LAN. I would like to set the MTU of only the WLAN card to 1500. This is done with

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{65FA9572-A7DB-42EE-8EC5-1D1D41E299FA}\MTU: 0x000005DC

So therefore I need to find this {65FA9572-A7DB-42EE-8EC5-1D1D41E299FA} value so I get the correct registry string for my WLAN NIC.

[Martin Zugec]

Its not really nice way to do this through registry - you can use command

Wmic nicconfig set SetMTU

instead

[BoardBabe]

Hmm never heard of that method, can you explain how I can set MTU to 1500 on only one specific NIC?

[Joe User 99]

How about using AutoIT?

Check out the RegEnumKey, RegEnumVal, RegRead, RegWrite functions.

They should be able to do what you are looking to do.

[Martin Zugec]

Study WMIC, it is really awesome command...

You can use "where", so you can select only one NIC... For example

WMIC NicConfig Where Description="Broadcom NetXtreme" Set SetMTU = 1500

The "HowTo" is simple. Run command

Wmic NicConfig list full

Find your NIC and find unique settings that it contains... Thats all.

[BoardBabe]

@Joe User 99: AutoIt is oute of the question

@Martin Zugec: I'll try look into this command. Looks interesting, but whats the benefit over regedit it?

hmm Im trying your command, but all i get is an error code 0x80041002.

Edited September 16, 2005 by BoardBabe

[Martin Zugec]

Simple - no need for identificators etc... And the main reason is that when you know syntax of WMIC, you can access ANYTHING (really )

[BoardBabe]

Ok, It sounds like a good idea if I can just get it working.

I tried with Description = ... but didnt work so then i tried with MAC, but I still get an error and cant set MTU. is this line correct?

WMIC NicConfig Where MACAddress="00:0E:35:2C:20:A7" Set SetMTU = 1500

[Martin Zugec]

OOps, sorry, not Set, but Call method... Call SetMTU etc...

[BoardBabe]

Sorry still nothing Ive tried numerous ways, but I cant get it working, but it seems like the perfect thing for my use if I can get it correct...

This however works to GET MTU, but I cant figure out the correct way to SET MTU

CWMIC NicConfig Where Description="Intel(R) PRO
/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection - Miniport for pakkeplanlegger" GET MTU

displays:

MTU
1500

Can you try set your mtu with WHERE and see if you get it working?

Study WMIC, it is really awesome command...

hi, is there a way to set registry keys using wmic?!

one can do really amazing stuff with the wmic commands, but i don't find a possibility to edit/create/delete reg.keys.. maybe someone could help me.

thx in advance
