I'm in desperate need of a script which allows me to rename the enabled nics...
In my case Local Area Connection 5 (Network team) must be renamed to Public
and 2 other active nics (member) should be renamed to Member #1 and Member #2.

I thought the script was good to go but unfortunately the only thing missing
is to write the new value into NetConnectionID..

Any help is greatly appreciated! Many thanks


strComputer = "."



Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colNetAdapters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapter where NetEnabled=TRUE")

For Each objItem In colNetAdapters
i = i + 1
If objItem.NetConnectionID = "Local Area Connection 5" Then
objItem.NetConnectionID = "Public"
Else
If Left(objItem.NetConnectionID,5) = "Local" Then
objItem.NetConnectionID = "Team Member #" & i
End If
End If
Next

Have you tried to find it in powershell ?
or to change registry?
