IPEnum

More often than not, when attempting to find the adapters via the WMI, it tends to treat everything remotely close to the adapter as the real thing. In the eventuality that you want to avoid getting false results and obtain only the list of adapters listed in the control panel, then you need to make sure that you filter out all devices that do not have the NetConnectionID.

IPEnum was designed to be an MFC class and console application to allow enumeration of IP addresses and displays the network adapter details to the letter. The tool can come in handy for the times when you are trying to find the network adapters in the network and can save time compared to the WMI, for instance.

The utility is a simple console and you can type its name or execute it in PowerShell or CommandLine to grab the information you need. You can find out the exact adapter name along with valuable data, such as whether certain parameters and function are enabled, namely the dynamic DNS, NetBIOS over TCP/IP, IPv4 and IPv6 Metrics, network GUID, type of connection, MTU, Physical address, Unicast address, receive and transmit link speed or if your connection is protected under a tunnel.
