You might want to also add

Console.WriteLine(objMO["Caption"].ToString());

to your test before the mac address so that you know which devices you are looking at.

Also, don't forget to use...

Use a stored procedure. Then you can execute the jobs just like you would run any stored procedure.

Haven't tried it, but you should be able to connect to the MySQL database via the System.Data.Odbc namespace. It will allow you to connect to any ODBC compliant DSN.

When it comes to getting the job done, whichever you are more familiar with. If I'm paying someone by the hour, I'd be hard pressed to tell them which .NET language to use if they're already...

Use the Management Class object in .NET.

ManagementClass oMClass = new ManagementClass ("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration");

ManagementObjectCollection colMObj = oMCLass.GetInstances();
...

For Windows forms and Office integration, C# is a lot easier to develop in.

But of course, that's just my opinion.
