Attempting to invoke the following Powershell command:

Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty eth* -DisplayName "Wait for Link" -DisplayValue "On"

Using the script:

   oPowerShell = objAutoPs.Create()
   oPowerShell.AddCommand("Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty")
   oPowerShell.AddArgument("eth*")
   oPowerShell.AddParameter("-DisplayName")
   oPowerShell.AddArgument("Wait for Link")
   oPowerShell.AddParameter("-DisplayValue")
   oPowerShell.AddArgument("On")

   oAsync = oPowerShell.BeginInvoke() ; Invoke() - invoke Does not work because can't determine which overload to use
   oPsCollection = oPowerShell.EndInvoke(oAsync)

   aRslts = ArrDimension(1024,2)
   cntr = 0
   ForEach oItem In oPsCollection
      oCast = oItem.BaseObject()
      aRslts[cntr,0] = oCast.Id
      aRslts[cntr,1] = oCast.ProcessName
      cntr = cntr+1
   Next
         
Exit

I can not get the Argument/Parameters right ...

Thanks.....

This is more of a PowerShell question than a WinBatch question.  You might want to spend some time reviewing the MSFT documentation for the module:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/netadapter/set-netadapteradvancedproperty?view=win10-ps

Another comment is you would do well to drop the "use" option and use the "useany" option instead.   Note that you would also need to remove the  ",version=1.0.0.0,publicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35,culture=neutral" part of your assembly description string to use "useany".  Removing the version dependency makes your script more portable across versions of Windows.

It might be possible to avoid parameters and just run with addscript()


partial code:


cScript='Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty eth* -DisplayName "Wait for Link" -DisplayValue "On"'


ObjectClrOption("useany", "System.Management.Automation")
objAutoPs = ObjectClrNew("System.Management.Automation.PowerShell")
oPshell = objAutoPs.Create()
oScope = ObjectType("BOOL",@TRUE)
oPshell.AddScript(cScript,oScope)
objAsync = oPshell.BeginInvoke()
oPShell.EndInvoke(objAsync) 


You sir, are correct!

Thank You !.....

For what it's worth.  According to MSFT's Powershell documentation, the correct way to build the command on the fly is something like the following:

oPowerShell.AddCommand("Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty")
oPowerShell.AddArgument("Eth*")
oPowerShell.AddParameter("DisplayName", "Wait for Link")
oPowerShell.AddParameter("DisplayValue", "On")


Edit: removed the extra single quotes from the AddParameter calls.

Syntax for the 2nd solution seems correct (no errors) but, the change never happens to the adapter.

Anyhow, the first solution works...

Thanks....

On my system, actually a virtual machine, neither solution one or solution two did anything. The point was more to illustrate the proper use of the AddArgument and AddParamter methods of the PowerShell object.

Note: edited the second solution to remove the extra single quotes.  A blunder on my part.

Both options now working for me.

Much appreciated.  Thank You ....
