reset network adapter
Apathy paralysis
I have a VBScript here to "switch" my network adapter (built from a script on the internet).
I was wondering if anyone could help me turn this into a script that would "reset" (disable, then re-enable) my wireless adapter instead of switching it.
'~ Toggle a SPECIFIED NIC on or off
Option Explicit
Const NETWORK_CONNECTIONS = &H31&
Dim objShell, objFolder, objFolderItem, objEnable, objDisable
Dim folder_Object, target_NIC
Dim NIC, clsVerb
Dim str_NIC_Name, strEnable, strDisable
Dim bEnabled, bDisabled
'NIC name goes here VVV
str_NIC_Name = "Wi-Fi"
strEnable = "En&able"
strDisable = "Disa&ble"
' create objects and get items
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(NETWORK_CONNECTIONS)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
Set folder_Object = objFolderItem.GetFolder
Set target_NIC = Nothing
' look at each NIC and match to the chosen name
For Each NIC In folder_Object.Items
If LCase(NIC.Name) = LCase(str_NIC_Name) Then
' proper NIC is found, get it
Set target_NIC = NIC
End If
Next
bEnabled = True
Set objEnable = Nothing
Set objDisable = Nothing
For Each clsVerb In target_NIC.Verbs
'~ Wscript.Echo clsVerb
If clsVerb.Name = strEnable Then
Set objEnable = clsVerb
bEnabled = False
End If
If clsVerb.Name = strDisable Then
Set objDisable = clsVerb
End If
Next
If bEnabled Then
objDisable.DoIt
Else
objEnable.DoIt
End If
'~ Give the connection time to change
WScript.Sleep 5000

I think it's better to use WMI.
Here is an example script:
Option Explicit
dim ComputerName
dim WMIService, NIC
dim ConnectionName
ComputerName = "."
ConnectionName = "Ethernet"
if not IsElevated then
WScript.Echo "Please run this script with administrative rights!"
WScript.Quit
end if
On Error Resume Next
Set WMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & ComputerName & "\root\cimv2")
Set NIC = WMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter WHERE NetConnectionID = '" & ConnectionName & "'").ItemIndex(0)
if NIC is nothing then
WScript.Echo "NIC not found!"
WScript.quit
end if
WScript.Echo "NIC Current status: " & iif(NIC.NetEnabled, "Enabled", "Disabled") & vbcrlf
if NIC.NetEnabled then
WScript.Echo "Disabling NIC..."
NIC.Disable
WScript.Sleep 1000
WScript.Echo "Enabling NIC..."
NIC.Enable
end if
function iif(cond, truepart, falsepart)
if cond then iif=truepart else cond=falsepart
end function
function IsElevated()
On Error Resume Next
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").RegRead("HKEY_USERS\s-1-5-19\")
IsElevated = (err.number = 0)
end function
