- As far as setting that value with Powershell, it’s most likely in the Registry under the vendor like Software RealTek. You should just search for the MAC address set and find it. This reply was modified 1 month, 3 weeks ago by Rob Simmers.
- If you don't want to use some 'powershell port', the best thing IMHO is to rewrite it into a macOS-compatible script, like bash scripts. Better yet, if you are planning to use both Windows and Mac, I recommend using cross-platform scripts (ex. Python) so that you only have to write your code once and execute (ideally) in both platforms.
- The AWS Tools for PowerShell let developers and administrators manage their AWS services and resources in the PowerShell scripting environment. Now you can manage your AWS resources with the same PowerShell tools you use to manage your Windows, Linux, and MacOS environments.
Using Powershell and WMI to get the MAC address of Remote workstation It has cropped up from time to time that we need to retrieve information, in this example, the MAC. Follow these steps to install Microsoft's open-source scripting environment, PowerShell, on macOS to aid in managing Windows and Unix-based systems from a Mac.
Microsoft has given the world new versions of PowerShell that bring the popular automation and scripting tool to MacOS and Linux.
PowerShell Core 6.0’s both an upgrade and a replacement for its predecessors.
It’s a replacement because Microsoft is no longer actively developing its predecessor, “Windows PowerShell”. That tool will be kept secure in future updates to Windows Server and Windows.
Those of you looking for future fun, by way of enhancements, need to adopt PowerShell Core. That moniker reflects the fact it runs with the .Net Core, rather than the Windows-only .NET framework.
The change has been made because Microsoft wants sysadmins to have one toolset to work with in whatever operating environment takes their fancy. That idea’s fuelled by Redmond’s belief that in a hybrid cloud world there’s every chance you’ll wrangle Windows or Linux servers from a Mac or penguin-powered machines. Or even a Windows PC.
Microsoft has listed the new features of PowerShell Core 6.0 here. Among the interesting additions are Docker support, sensitivity to the fact that MacOS and Linux filesystems can handle file names that Windows chokes on, SSH remoting and dozens of new cmdlets.
Among some curiosities Microsoft has noted is an unsupported version of the tool for Windows on ARM and another for Rasbpian. There’s also a warning that Linux users may need to do a fresh install of version 6.0 rather than upgrade.
And just to confuse matters, while version 6.0 is the latest and greatest, Microsoft also offers PowerShell Core 5.0 and 5.1 with its Nano Server.
PowerShell Core 6.0 for Windows can be found here, and for MacOS and Linux here. ®
This is the biggest and most important change we've every made to PowerShell!

Powershell For Macbook
— Jeffrey Snover (@jsnover) January 10, 2018So, I recently had a need to quickly and easily search a considerably large amount of DHCP Pools for some Polycom Trio devices. and James Cussens VVX manager returned too many results to find what I was looking for (well, until I hacked it to support Trio’s)
Bascially, feed it a MAC and it will return the IP if the DHCP server has leased it.
Figured someone else would find this handy. Run this from a host with the DHCP tools installed. it will poll the local machine by default, but you can just update the machine name and mac address as required.

Enjoy.
