Use PowerShell to Configure the NIC on Windows Server 2012

Hi,

I have network name differences between Netwok Connections applet and Failover Cluster Manager.

I'm trying to rename a cluster net interface using Get-ClusterNetworkInterface. So I run $n = Get-ClusterNetworkInterface "oldname", then $n.name = "newname". I'm getting a "Exception setting "Name": "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object." error.

But, Get-ClusterNetworkInterface | Get-Member returns "Name Property string Name {get;set;}"

What am I doing wrong? I've tried to change it in registry, but Failover Cluster Manager does not get it.

Thanks.

I helped someone in Technet Forums last week about using powershell to manage NIC Teaming. It would be much easier if I knew this article :D

Great article!

This can be done via WMI object in v2:

#Setup NICS

$NIC = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -filter "MACAddress='$($xmlConfigInfo.VMS.VM[0].MACAddress1)'"

$NIC.EnableStatic($xmlConfigInfo.VMS.VM[0].IP1, "255.255.255.0")

$NIC.SetGateways("172.19.14.1","1")
