I am executing the following command:

gwmi win32_networkadapterconfiguration|where {$_.IPAddress}|select dnsserversearchorder

On screen this comand returns the DNS Servers for IP enabled NIC in the following format:

{192.1.1.1, 192.1.1.2}

When I use export-csv the value listed in the column is System.String[]

2 things:

1. How do I convert this value to a value that will output like what I see on the command line?
2. How do I "Split" this value so that I can output each value into a DNS1 and DNS2 variable?

I have tried this unsuccessfully:

$dnsso = gwmi win32_networkadapterconfiguration|where {$_.IPAddress}|select dnsserversearchorder

echo $dnnso[0].Split(",")

It complain that Split is not a valid function of the type it is passed.

Thanks,

Most of the IP fields return arrays of strings like this. To work with them you can index them (e.g. [0]), loop through them (e.g. $arr | foreach-object { $_ }, or you can force them to be output as a string:

Thanks Hal.

I was able to Split the DNSearchOrder field using the array index:
$field6 = @{Name="DNSServer1";Expression={$_.DNSServerSearchOrder[0]}}
$field7 = @{Name="DNSServer2";Expression={$_.DNSServerSearchOrder[1]}}
