How To: Save And Restore Network Configuration From Command-Line

| | No TrackBacks
There's a command-line utility, netsh, able to control almost all the aspects of network configuration. Thera are cases when it's necessary to save or restore the entire network configuration.

Command-line method could be much faster, especially if the switch should be performed frequently and/or on a number of computers.

To backup your network configuration:
netsh interface dump > netcfg-saved.dat

(the data are stored in netcfg-saved.dat)

To restore your network configuration afterwards:
netsh exec netcfg-saved.dat

Saving several frequently used network configurations would help you to save much time setting up one of the saved network settings. If you travel much, or are using the same notebook to connect at home, at the ofice and elsewhere, the above means could be very convenient.
