Method 1: Using Get-NetAdapter

function Get-MacAddress-GetNetAdapter {
    try {
        $macAddresses = Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object { $_.Status -eq "Up" } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MacAddress
        if ($macAddresses) {
            write-host "Get-NetAdapter - MAC Addresses: $macAddresses"
        } else {
            write-host "Get-NetAdapter - No active network adapters found."
        }
    } catch {
        write-host "Error using Get-NetAdapter: $_"
    }
}

Method 2: Using WMI

function Get-MacAddress-WMI {
    try {
        $macAddresses = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapter | Where-Object { $_.NetConnectionStatus -eq 2 } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MACAddress
        if ($macAddresses) {
            write-host "WMI - MAC Addresses: $macAddresses"
        } else {
            write-host "WMI - No active network adapters found."
        }
    } catch {
        write-host "Error using WMI: $_"
    }
}

Method 3: Using CIM

function Get-MacAddress-CIM {
    try {
        $macAddresses = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_NetworkAdapter | Where-Object { $_.NetConnectionStatus -eq 2 } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MACAddress
        if ($macAddresses) {
            write-host "CIM - MAC Addresses: $macAddresses"
        } else {
            write-host "CIM - No active network adapters found."
        }
    } catch {
        write-host "Error using CIM: $_"
    }
}

Method 4: Using ipconfig

function Get-MacAddress-Ipconfig {
    try {
        $ipconfigOutput = ipconfig /all
        $macAddresses = ($ipconfigOutput -match '([0-9A-F]{2}-){5}[0-9A-F]{2}' -split "`n").Trim()
        if ($macAddresses) {
            write-host "Ipconfig - MAC Addresses: $macAddresses"
        } else {
            write-host "Ipconfig - No MAC addresses found."
        }
    } catch {
        write-host "Error using Ipconfig: $_"
    }
}
