FEATURE REQUEST - sconfig Change Naming / do return to the same adapter after config
I would like to bring up two feature requests for sconfig 1. Please allow rename netadapter in sconfig 2. if one configures a network address or DNS for an adapter sconfig will return to the ...
current process is like
1. use get-netadapter because only the InterfaceDescription is reliable to identify a NetAdapter when having several ones (usual for a server, especially S2D).
2. remember the adapter description
3. sconfig
4. go to networking
5. remind the the correct netadapter by InterfaceDescription (as Name is absent, and NetAdapter ifIndex is WRONG)
6. config ip / dhcp or DNS etc
7. sconfig returns to main menu
8. start over
Hopefully you are not too old or distracted to remind the InterfaceDescription (well if you have multiple adapters like 4-6 e.g. S2D, you'll understand my point.
Of course one could use PowerShell and automate things, but then this tool is really too basic if such inconveniences are acceptable, especially point 5.
