Is there any command to display active Ethernet connection name?

Question

I need to display connected Ethe.net name.

I used the following command to get WLAN connected.network (Wi-Fi).

C:\Users\User>netsh wlan show interface | findstr /i "SSID"  name
    SSID                   : HOME
    BSSID                  : bc:62:d2:4a:a1:48

An error message is output if I run the following command next:

C:\Users\User>netsh lan show interface command

The Wired AutoConfig Service (dot3svc) is not running.

But after I started the service, I still do not get the active connected Ethe.net name.

C:\Users\User>netsh lan show interface command

There is 1 interface on the system:

    Name             : Ethernet
    Description      : Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller
    GUID             : e901d916-86f4-4070-9941-47a9a325537a
    Physical Address : 98-E7-43-0F-8F-84
    State            : Connected. Network does not support authentication.

Can anyone help me to get the Ethe.net name Home on wired LAN connection?

Answer 1

The following command, entered directly in cmd , should display the name of the connected.network profile(s), regardless of whether they are wired or wireless, on a Windows 8 / Server 2012 Operating System or newer.

For /F Tokens^=6^ Delims^=^" %G In ('%SystemRoot%\System32\wbem\WMIC.exe /NameSpace:\\Root\StandardCimv2 Path MSFT_NetConnectionProfile Where "IPv4Connectivity='4'" Get Name /Format:MOF 2^>NUL') Do @Echo %G

From a batch-file , for GUI double-click, it would look a little more like this:

@(For /F Tokens^=6^ Delims^=^" %%G In ('%SystemRoot%\System32\wbem\WMIC.exe
 /NameSpace:\\Root\StandardCimv2 Path MSFT_NetConnectionProfile Where
 "IPv4Connectivity='4'" Get Name /Format:MOF 2^>NUL') Do @Echo %%G) & Pause
