PowerShell Function Set-NetInterfaceName

August 13, 2008 at 3:08 PM — Andy Schneider

Now that you are able to set an IP address given a name of a network interface, you may want to change that name.

Here's a quick little function to do that.

   1: function Set-InterfaceName {   2:         param(     3:                 [string]$oldName,   4:                 [string]$newName   5:          )   6:            7:         $NicInterfaceName = gwmi Win32_NetworkAdapter | where {$_.netconnectionid -eq $oldName}   8:         $NicInterfaceName.netconnectionid = $newName   9:         $NicInterfaceName.put()  10:           11: }
