add profile filename= PathAndProfileName [[interface=]InterfaceName]

Filename

Required. Specifies the path and name of the XML file containing the profile data.

Interface

Optional. Specifies the name of the interface on which the profile will be set (where InterfaceName is the name of the interface as displayed in Network Connections or as rendered by the netsh lan show interfaces command).

The interface parameter specifies one of the interface names shown by the netsh lan show interface command. If the interface is specified, the profile is added to the specified interface. There is wildcard support for this parameter. You can use the characters ? and * to replace a letter and letters of the interface name, respectively.

• add profile filename=C:\Users\WiredUser\Documents\profile1.xml interface="Local Area Connection"
  
  

delete profile interface= InterfaceName

Interface

• Required. Specifies the name of the interface on which the profile is to be deleted (where InterfaceName is the name of the interface as displayed in Network Connections, or as rendered by the netsh lan show interfaces command).
  
  

There is wildcard support for the interface parameter. You can use the characters ? and * to replace a letter and letters of the interface name, respectively.

• delete profile interface="Local Area Connection"
  
  
• delete profile interface=L*
  
  

export profile folder= PathAndFileName [[interface=]InterfaceName]

Folder

• Required. Specifies the path and file name for the profile XML file.
  
  

Interface

Optional. Specifies the name of the interface on which the profile is configured (where InterfaceName is the name of the interface as displayed in Network Connections, or as rendered by the netsh lan show interfaces command).

The folder parameter must specify an existing folder that is accessible from the local computer. It can be either an absolute path or relative path to the current working directory. In addition, "." refers to the current working directory, and ".." refers to the parent directory of the current working directory. The folder name cannot be a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path.

If the interface parameter is specified, only the specified profile associated with that interface is saved. Otherwise, all profiles on the computer with the specified name are saved.

Profiles of specified interfaces are saved in the format "InterfaceName ProfileName.xml." Profiles at the computer level are saved in the file name format "ProfileName.xml."

There is wildcard support for this parameter. You can use the characters ? and * to replace a letter and letters of the interface name, respectively.

• export profile folder=c:\Users\user\Documents\ interface="Local Area Connection"
  
  
• export profile folder=c:\Users\user\Documents\
  
  

reconnect [[interface=]InterfaceName]

Interface

Optional. Specifies the interface that is used for the connection attempt (where InterfaceName is the name of the interface as displayed in Network Connections, or as rendered by the netsh lan show interfaces command).

If the interface parameter is specified, only the specified interface is used for the connection attempt. If the interface parameter is not specified, all interfaces attempt to reconnect. Wildcard (*) names cannot be used to specify the interface name.

• reconnect interface="Local Area Connection "
  
  

set autoconfig enabled={yes|no} interface=InterfaceName

Enabled

Required. Specifies whether to set Wired AutoConfig Service to enabled or disabled.

Interface

Required. Specifies the name of the interface on which the service is enabled or disabled (where InterfaceName is the name of the interface as displayed in Network Connections, or as rendered by the netsh lan show interfaces command).

When Wired AutoConfig is enabled, computers running Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 automatically connect to the network by using the specified interface. By default, Wired AutoConfig is enabled.

If Wired AutoConfig is disabled, Windows will not automatically connect to any networks by using the specified interface.

There is wildcard support for the interface parameter. You can use the characters ? and * to replace a letter and letters of the interface name, respectively.

• set autoconfig enabled=yes interface="Local Area Connection"
  
  

set profileparameter name= ProfileName [[interface=]InterfaceName] [[authMode=]{machineOrUser|machineOnly|userOnly|guest}] [[ssoMode=]{preLogon|postLogon|none}] [[maxDelay=]1-120] [[allowDialog={yes|no}] [[userVLAN=]{yes|no}]

Name

Required. Specifies the name of the profile to set (where ProfileName is the name of the profile, as rendered by the netsh lan show profile command).

Interface

Optional. Specifies the name of the interface on which the profile is set (where InterfaceName is the name of the interface as displayed in Network Connections, or as rendered by the netsh lan show interfaces command).

AuthMode

Optional [conditional, see "Remarks"]. Specifies the type of credentials to be used for authentication.

SSOMode

Optional [conditional, see "Remarks"].Specifies the type of single sign on (SSO) to be attempted if any.

MaxDelay

Optional [conditional, see "Remarks"]. Specifies the timeout value allowed to establish the single sign-on connection.

AllowDialog

Optional [conditional, see "Remarks"].Specifies whether to allow or disallow a dialog to be shown for preLogon.

UserVLAN

• Optional [conditional, see "Remarks"].Specifies if the network switches to a different VLAN on user authentication.
  
  

Parameter name is required; all other parameters are optional, however, regardless of whether parameter interface is specified, at least one other parameter must be specified.

If the parameter interface is specified then only profiles associated with that interface are modified.

• set profileparameter name="Profile 1" authMode=userOnly ssoMode=preLogon
  
  
• set profileparameter name=Profile2 interface="Local Area Connection" ssoMode=none
  
  

set tracing [[mode=]{yes|no|persistent}]

Mode

Required. Specifies whether wired tracing is disabled, enabled and persistent, or enabled and nonpersistent. See "Remarks" for additional information.

• If the mode parameter is set to yes, nonpersistent tracing is active until the mode is either set to no or the computer is restarted.
  
  
• If the mode parameter is set to no, tracing is stopped for either persistent or nonpersistent tracing.
  
  

If the mode parameter is set to persistent, tracing is active even after the computer is restarted.

The default value for the mode parameter is nonpersistent.

• set tracing mode=persistent
