How to Change Network Profiles with PowerShell?
Change Network Profile Using PowerShell
The three network profiles in Windows 10 are:- Private: Computers on a private network can belong to a home group. Network discovery is turned on for private networks, which allows you to see other computers and devices on the network.
- Public: Designed to keep your computer from being visible to other computers around you and to help protect your computer from any malicious software from the Internet.
- Domain: It belongs to enterprise network. It’s controlled by network admin and can’t be selected and changed locally.
1. Open PowerShell and run it as administrator. Then type “Get-NetAdapter” and press enter to see all network adapters.
2. To fine the network adapter profiles, type “Get-NetConnectionProfile” and press enter. You can specify the network connection with “-InterfaceAlias” parameter. It show only the exact network connection information.
The network category is public, so try to change to private network with “Set-NetConnectionProfile” cmdlet.
3. To change Public network to Private network, simply type “Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceAlias Ethernet -NetworkCategory Private” and press enter.
4. To see the result, type “Get-NetConnectionProfile” or specify the network adapter name with “-InterfaceAlias” parameter.
Good, the public network has been changed to private network successfully. You can do the same to change private network to public.
