Need a batch file to restart ethernet adapter

[NTDaws]

Sup fellas, I need a batch file that will reset the ethernet adapter on login. Anyone able to give me to link me instructions?

 

Thanks

Are you open to using powershell instead of batch? 

 

There's a built in cmdlet to do this called Restart-NetAdapter

 

So all you'd need (for example) is:

 

Restart-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet 2"

 

Just put that as the argument for powershell.exe with a trigger of user login via task scheduler or via login script in group policy.

Please explain how to do that. I'm not very educated in powershell.

If you're doing it through task scheduler, just create a new task to run on logon, then start a program (powershell.exe) and put the command as the arguments. 

 

 

The command format is below. Just replace "Ethernet 2" with whichever adapter you want to restart on login. 

 

Restart-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet 2"

Sorry to bother, it was working, but I had to reinstall windows. Now when I do it, I get this error.

Will probably need to be run as admin. If still going through task scheduler, tick the option to run with highest privileges 

 

EDIT: Also make sure the adapter name/number hasn't changed. Might be different after reinstalling
