Enable/Disable network card WMI

[colombeen 6]

Hi guys

I've been looking around to enable/disable network cards using WMI but so far the only way i could get it to work was with this :

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "WMIC PATH Win32_NetworkAdapter WHERE Index=" & $NetAdp_CurrID & " CALL " & $action, "", @SW_HIDE)

The $NetAdp_CurrID var would be the index of the network card and the $action var would be enable or disable in my line of code.

I know it's possible to do this with wmi without using cmd but i can't figure out how.

Anyone who has the answer to my problem?

I've tried with using the wmi query and adding .enable() and .disable() at the end but that doesn't work (or at least not for me)

You can call WMI methods directly with AutoIt.

Look at my network UDF (https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/155539-network-configuration-udf/) : _EnableNetAdapter / _DisableNetAdapter
