Question

Hi,
I am working on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard(published in 2013), and tried to disable network adapter power management by powershell,
PS C:\> Get-NetAdapter -InterfaceDescription "Oracle VM*" |Format-List

PS. Because I want to add this disabling in an automatic execution pipeline, so I don't want to use a hard-coded registry key to disable it.

Get-NetAdapterPowerManagement lan | Disable-NetAdapterPowerManagement
Get-NetAdapterPowerManagement lanWorks as expected.

Hi,Thanks for your reply, but seems I did not find "lan" on my server
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-NetAdapterPowerManagement lan | Disable-NetAdapterPowerManagement
Get-NetAdapterPowerManagement : No MSFT_NetAdapterPowerManagementSettingData objects found with property 'Name' equal
to 'lan'. Verify the value of the property and retry.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-NetAdapterPowerManagement lan | Disable-NetAdapterPowerManagement
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (lan:String) [Get-NetAdapterPowerManagement], CimJobException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CmdletizationQuery_NotFound_Name,Get-NetAdapterPowerManagement
Is there anything I missed?

Hi,
Based on the first post, you may need to replace "lan" to "Ethernet 3" and run the command again to see if it works.
You can also run Get-NetAdapterPowerManagement | Select-Object Name to get the correct name.
Please let us know if you would like further assistance.

Yes,actually I used this way firstly, but for our image, after installed pv driver, the driver number of network adpater is not 0001 anymore, following is what I did:
$(Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\OVMPCI\VIF\4&15dc77f4&0&0" Driver).Driver ====> get the actual driver number
{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0011
Then:New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\$key" -Name "PnPCapabilities" -Value 0x00000018 -PropertyType DWORD -Force
This way works well, but because there is a hard code value required in command (such as 4&15dc77f4&0&0), so I want to try the new powershell command to do, but now seems there is no better way to do it.
PS: Is there anyway to get the value "4&15dc77f4&0&0" under "VIF by powershell command , instead of use a hardcode ?
Anyway, Thanks a lot for you support.

>> PS: Is there anyway to get the value "4&15dc77f4&0&0" under "VIF by powershell command , instead of use a hardcode ?
You can have a try with the following command:
Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\OVMPCI\VIF | Select-Object PSChildName
Also, Good to hear that you have solved this issue by yourself. In addition, thanks for sharing your solution in the forum as it would be helpful to anyone who encounters similar issues.
If there is anything else we can do for you, please feel free to post in the forum.
