How to change network location via PowerShell

Is it possible with PowerShell to change the Network Location type (for
example, from Public to Private) for a specific network? How?

Thanks.

Re: How to change network location via PowerShell



You can set it through the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\profiles\<profile>


Each <profile> has a "Category" DWORD value. Possible values are:

Public = 0
Home = 1
Work = 2
