Folks-

I'm confusing myself between the service name from the windows registry, and the service name that I get from using wmic. I'm looking for some way to get the registry service name (8BAA28BF-8565-43BE-81C0-E7BBD94187D3) using wmic if possible.

Here is my current code, and example output data:

1.) WindowsRegistry: 

$VAR1 = bless( {
     '/ServiceName' => '{8BAA28BF-8565-43BE-81C0-E7BBD94187D3}',
     '/Description' => 'Intel(R) PRO/1000 PL Network Connection'
}, 'Win32::TieRegistry' );

2.) wmic nic list brief /format:value 

$VAR1 = {
          'DeviceID' => '2',
          'Speed' => undef,
          'ServiceName' => 'w39n51',
          'NetworkAddresses' => '',
          'MACAddress' => '00:13:02:24:B9:4E',
          'AdapterType' => 'Ethernet 802.3',
          'Name' => 'Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection'
        };

Here's my sample script: 

use strict;

use Win32::TieRegistry;
use Data::Dumper;

# Get nic info via wmic (not available on all versions of windows)...
my @devs = split(/^\s*\n/m, `wmic nic list brief /format:value`);
shift(@devs);                    # Remove initial blank line

my $d = $devs[1];                # Take the 2nd device
my %node = split(/[=\n]/, $d);            # Hashify information
print Dumper(\%node);

my $dev="LMachine/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Network
+Cards/2";

my $key=$Registry->Open($dev, { Access => "KEY_READ", Delimiter => "/"
+ } );
print Dumper($key);

All help is much appreciated!

Thanks

UPDATE:
Using the wmic.exe command, you can get the information as follows: 

wmic nicconfig list /format:value

The registry service name is the value labled "SettingID".
