Description

The Rename-VMNetworkAdapter cmdlet renames a virtual network adapter on a virtual machine or on the management operating system.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Rename-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName Redmond -NewName CoreNet

This example renames all the virtual network adapters of virtual machine Redmond to CoreNet.

Example 2

PS C:\> Rename-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName Kirkland -Name Private -NewName CoreNet

This example renames the virtual network adapter Private to CoreNet in virtual machine Kirkland.

Parameters

-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.

Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ComputerName

Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which the virtual network adapter is to be renamed. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer. Use localhost or a dot (.) to specify the local computer explicitly.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None

-Passthru

Specifies that an object is to be passed through to the pipeline representing the virtual network adapter to be renamed. This is a Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.VMInternalNetworkAdapter object, if ManagementOS is specified; otherwise it is a Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.VMNetworkAdapter object.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
