Use Amazon Echo Outside US With These Nifty Tricks While it is not a good sign that Amazon has not yet localized Echo to more countries, the tricks mentioned in this article will definitely help you with getting your Amazon Echo working outside the US, in countries like Australia, UK, India and a lot more. A MAC address for Amazon Echo devices is the globally unique identifier, which is also called hardware or physical address. Normally, MAC address is.

In a batch file that uses only standard Windows commands (no third-party utilities) I need to be able to extract the MAC address of the ethernet adapter installed in the machines we deploy and display it to the user in a format like 'The MAC Address is: 00-00-00-00-00-00'. I'm running Vista Business Edition with SP1, and I've gotten close with the following (which worked under XP SP2): ipconfig /all find 'Physical Address'>c: windows temp macaddress.txt for /f 'tokens=2 delims=:'%%i in (c: windows temp macaddress.txt) do @echo The MAC Address is%%i The problem is that under Vista, I end up with three MAC addresses displayed because there are multiple Physical Addresses listed in IPCONFIG's output (listed below). How can I limit the display to the Ethernet adapter's MAC address?

With something like the following. @REM locate MAC ID in ipconfig/all output @setlocal enableextensions @echo off set f=%0.tmp ipconfig/all findstr ^ /C:'Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:' ^ /C:'Physical Address' ^ >%f% for /F 'delims='%%a in (%f%) do call:PROC '%%a' echo The MAC Address is:%MACA% goto:EOF:PROC set a=%~1 set a=%a: =% set a=%a.=% if '%a:~0,8%' == 'Ethernet' ( set s=next line will have MACA ) else if defined s ( set MACA=%a:PhysicalAddress:=% set s= ) Note: findstr.exe is a standard utility included with Windows XP. If you have find.exe, you should also have findstr.exe. Harlan Grove 27/2/2008, 15:24 น. Wrote in message news:%232ofBvWeIHA.4140@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl.

Note that AFTER the last line of these snippets, the MAC address is available as%MAC%, there is NO spaces EITHER side of the '=' in the SET statements. See the FOR documentation for use of the. Syntax for /?

From the prompt or alt.msdos.batch.nt - where such matters are regularly discussed. Harlan Grove 27/2/2008, 17:33 น.

Your approach works for the OP's sample ipconfig output, but it's not general. Your approach assigns the first physical address in the text stream to MAC, but the active Ethernet adapter need not be the first section with a physical address. On my own system, my dial-up VPN section comes before my regular (Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection) section.

Anyway, the getmac solution would be the ideal way to go. Learn something new every day. At dot 28/2/2008, 4:16 น. Wrote in message news:eD79LPgeIHA.1188@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl.

I'd suggest that it would be logical for the report to follow a specific structure, but then we are talking Microsoft, so there's no guarantee. You mentioned you'd used XP for your initial approach. My XP/H system doesn't include GETMAC - no idea whether it's included or a 'resource pack' or 'toolkit' inclusion with other editions or versions.
