  Hi,

  You can try using below code if you know name of any one of network adapter's name and then use same code for rest of the machine's adapters:-

  $computers=Get-Content-PathC:\Computers.txt

  
  

  $wmi=Get-WmiObject-ClassWin32_NetworkAdapter-Filter"NetConnectionID = 'Local Area Connection'"

  
  

  $wmi.NetConnectionID ='Renamed Connection'

  
  

  $wmi.Put()

  Let me know if it helps and mark as answer if your purpose is resolved.

  Thanks,

  Ravi

  This cmd-command will cycle through your interfaces and search for an interface name that contain the string: "local"

  If there is a match… the chained command will rename the interface to "Ethernet"

  for /f "tokens=1-3,*" %a in ('netsh interface show interface') do @echo %d | find /i "local" && netsh interface set interface name="%d" newname="Ethernet"
