PowerShell Direct & Waiting for an IP Address

Here is an interesting problem.  With PowerShell Direct it is possible to get connected to a PowerShell session inside a virtual machine before the virtual machine has received an IP address.  While this is cool - it can result in annoying script failures.  To handle this - if I am using PowerShell Direct and I need to get something from the network I first run this:

# Wait for DHCP
while ((Get-NetIPAddress|?AddressFamily-eqIPv4|?IPAddress-ne127.0.0.1).SuffixOrigin -ne"Dhcp") {sleep-Milliseconds10}

The nice thing about this snippet is that it is not looking for a specific subnet or IP address - it is just waiting to receive a DHCP lease from somewhere.  This means that it works no matter what network I am connected to.

Cheers,
