Windows – How to change the duplex of a NIC remotely on windows

networkingnicwindows

I want to change remotely on windows xp the speed/duplex of a NIC. I try with mmc, netsh but without result. I have to log me in with rdp to change the duplex, or remotely search in the registry and modify the value manually.

Does anyone know a way to change this without modifying the registry manually?

Best Answer

One workaround is to use psexec from Sysinternals to modify the registry remotely or use reg add and specify remote computer:

REG ADD \Remotecomputer\HKLM\Software.... /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d ^%systemroot^%

Do not forget to also force the other side, else big mess around the corner
