Set-NetConnectionProfile [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-NetworkCategory {Public | Private | DomainAuthenticated}]

[-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Set-NetConnectionProfile cmdlet changes the network category setting of a connection profile. A connection

profile represents a network connection.





PARAMETERS

-CimSession [<CimSession[]>]

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such

as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local

computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-InterfaceAlias [<String[]>]

Specifies an array of names of network adapters.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-InterfaceIndex [<UInt32[]>]

Specifies an array of numerical index values associated with the network adapters.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-IPv4Connectivity [<IPv4Connectivity[]>]

Specifies an array of IPv4 protocol connectivity status values. The acceptable values for this parameter are:



-- Disconnected

-- NoTraffic

-- Subnet

-- LocalNetwork

-- Internet



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-IPv6Connectivity [<IPv6Connectivity[]>]

Specifies an array of IPv6 protocol connectivity status values. The acceptable values for this parameter are:



-- Disconnected

-- NoTraffic

-- Subnet

-- LocalNetwork

-- Internet



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Name [<String[]>]

Specifies an array of names of networks with which the connection is currently established.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-NetworkCategory [<NetworkCategory>]

Specifies an array of category types of a network. You cannot set the DomainAuthenticated type by using this

cmdlet. The server automatically sets the value of DomainAuthenticated when the network is authenticated to a

domain controller. The acceptable values for this parameter are:



-- Public

-- Private



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate

any output.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this

parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell? calculates an optimum throttle limit

for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies

only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value false

Accept pipeline input? false

-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs.

The cmdlet is not run.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value false

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

INPUTS









OUTPUTS









Example 1: Change the network category of a connection profile



This first command gets the connection profile for the network adapter named Ethernet1. The command stores the

results in the $Profile variable.

PS C:\\>$Profile = Get-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceAlias Ethernet1



This second command assigns the value of Public to the NetworkCategory property of the connection profile stored

in the $Profile variable.

PS C:\\>$Profile.NetworkCategory = Public



This third command sets the network category of the connection profile stored in the $Profile variable.

PS C:\\>Set-NetConnectionProfile -InputObject $Profile



This example changes the network category of a connection profile.
