Can't get IP Address on Windows 11

[erickriva]

WMIC was removed from Windows 10/11.

There's no other way to implement this feature without WMIC, or with the new 'Powershell for WMI'?

I guess it might be possible via route command unless that is deprecated too, but it certainly won't be as sophisticated as the wmic method was.

Or maybe spawn powershell like https://stackoverflow.com/a/61219838/808699 and try to access WMI data via Get-CimInstance.

Well, route command works well here. Searched on Windows docs and this one is not deprecated. Hasn't tried yet.

But tried this command, and it works!
Get-CimInstance -Query "SELECT NextHop FROM Win32_IP4RouteTable WHERE Destination='0.0.0.0'"

I just don't know how to get only the specific value needed.

Maybe some of the queries used on wmic still work. The wmic parsing is quite complex because in a situation with multiple default gateways, one needed to obtain the one with the highest overall metric, which was a sum of GatewayCostMetric and IPConnectionMetric, and there's different gateways for IPv4 and IPv6 of course.

Just sent #26
Working fine with powershell.
I did everything for WMIC part stay intact, but couldn't test. Please, test with it.
Hope it helps.

@silverwind please, give a look at it.

Sorry, but I won't. See #27.
