I try a remote reboot script but I got a message like this: "Get-WmiObject : Access is denied.

Did I make something wrong to execute this script? any advice are welcome... Hi there..

(I'm searching for a spesific nic) So I was wondering if you had the same problem as me. After defining a gateway using SetGateways() the gateway i specify gets added as a default gateway that stays saved even after I turn on DHCP again. I cant figure out a way to remove it other than doing it manually. Cheers I have a script that is almost the same as your.

Which is the case for a majority of workstations within most networking environments. If you have a special case where you have workstation that have multiple nics that require separate IP address, then you would set up a filter to connect to the nic of your choice. If you do a get-member on the wmi object there are many properties you can choose to filter. Since we are looking for a unique property I tend to use the MAC address of the nic. I want to change and customize the filter as follows: $NICs = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration ` | Where {$_.MACAddress -eq "3E:6D:10:34:22:3D"} This filter assures me that I am connecting to the NIC I wish to make changes too. That way if I have two nics in the system, I'm only making changes to the one I choose... The example provided assumes that only one nic in the system is IP enabled.

In the “Foreach” loop of the example 2, i don’t understand how the IP address can be different for each instance of $NICs collection ?

Do you mean something like this:

$ipaddress = “10.0.0.1″
$subMask = “255.0.0.0″
$NIC.EnableStatic($ipaddress, $subMask)

-or-
$ipaddress = Read-Host “Enter the IP Address”
$subMask = Read-Host “Enter Subnet Mask”
$GW = Read-Host “Enter Default Gateway”
