The Windows tests use PowerShell "getmac", which only works in Windows Server 2008.

In 2012 and 2016, it fails.

Maybe the replacement is now "Get-NetAdapter | select Name,MacAddress" ?

Wouldn't wmic nic get Name,MACAddress be easier? Almost every version of Windows since XP supports it.

@as, feel free to fix things up. I don't know Windows well so I just disabled the test.

@bradfitz what is getmac used for in the larger scope?

@bradfitz what is getmac used for in the larger scope?

Perhaps I do not understand your question. But getmac command is used in TestInterfaceHardwareAddrWithGetmac in net package.

Sorry, I meant what is the reason for shelling out getmac instead of just making the syscall? Is there a specific reason for doing so?

TestInterfaceHardwareAddrWithGetmac tests the syscall. How do you propose to test syscall by calling syscall?

I misunderstood why getmac was needed, sorry! Still new to contributing.

net: revert CL 82975
46c5856 
this solution as it stands doesn't work with
non-english device names (#23191 (which has a fix))
and names some devices differently (#23153) probably due to the
fact that this test previously only ran on Server 2008.

Re-opens #20073
