Today I needed a script to rename Network Connections on servers with Windows Server 2003, based on their ip addresses.
I chose to use vbscript with a mix of WMI and “native vbscript”.
The command line usage is:
Cscript.exe RenameNics.vbs <”Interface Name”> <ip address suffix>
Example
Cscript.exe RenameNics.vbs “”Front End” 192.168.3
The script is attached in a zip file:
If you like the script, please leave a comment!

This is a very nice script…. first set all interfaces to “MyInterface” where IP = 192.168 and then use netsh to change DNS and WINS on multiple servers…. just great!
Thanks!
