Include Device MAC address in Get returns

[ckp-tsatrust]

Hello,

It would be really useful for the Get-VmsHardware to include the MAC address in the return. This can then be used to link with other 3rd party platforms as would be a common unique key.

For my example I would like to run a schedule task to query Milestone and compare values with those in our Asset Management platform, such as device status and current IP address....etc.

unless there is another command I can use that includes the MAC address

In our configuration API the MAC is stored as a read-only "general setting" and you can get those setting with Get-HardwareSetting. Here's a command using a "calculated property" to add the MAC to a selection of name and address:

Get-VmsHardware | Select Name, Address, @{n='MACAddress';e={($_ | Get-HardwareSetting).MACAddress}}

I've added an example to the Get-VmsHardware documentation for this as it's a fairly common question.
