Naming the Network Interface

[Paul Cuthbert]

Hello

I missed this in my last post. Is it possible to name the Network Interface
something other than "Local Area Connection" ideally in TD or if not
possible using netsh.

I am using rundll32 netshell.dll HrRenameConnection to name the connection
as I am using Minlogon.

Many thanks

Paul Cuthbert

Paul,

I don't think it is possible in TD. However, you can write your own app (net
APIs or manual changes in registry
under[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces])
to rename any interface you got.

Also, you don't really need to rename the interface to "Local Area
Connection". You can enumerate the interfaces at runtime, find the one you
need and use its GUID (as I remember, netsh allow you to use GUID as
interface name).
